I did a quick loop around the Prairie's Edge Wildlife Drive this morning and although it was pretty quiet, bird-wise (cool and windy), I did see 9 Virginia rail chicks - tiny, little, black fuzzballs. No camera!!! They were at the edge of the road just beyond mile marker 3.0 - marsh on the east / right side of the road. I've seen rail chicks here the last two years as well.
