This morning, just after 8:00am, I found a KING RAIL foraging on the course, on either side of the road down to the east marina (40.7193010, -73.1428022). The encounter only lasted a few minutes, and despite a few reasonably prompt texts, nobody who arrived shortly thereafter had success refinding the bird. But I just received word that the bird recently showed again, so anyone inclined to try for it should get down to Timber Point ASAP. Good luck if you go.
