I just received a report of a Black Rail (No! not a baby Virginia) at Sherburne Wildlife Refuge in Sherburne County. Richard Clearman at about 11:30 am found a Black Rail on the wildlife drive in the cattails on the south side of the road just below the Charles Stickney Pool. A volunteer ranger at the refuge had been seeing the rail for about three weeks, but this is the first time that Richard found it. His report was of a small black rail with a brown back and white spots on its flanks and possibly its back.
