Adam Troyer found a YELLOW RAIL while mowing one of the back hay fields on his farm off Tomak Road in Candor this afternoon. We were just able to flush it again (briefly) for a look. The spot is tough to access and a bit of a hike, but Adam is thinking the best option if others want to try would be to meet at his farm at 5:30pm this afternoon and walk back to continue mowing, which seemed to be the best option for successfully flushing it. Chances are it wouldn't be around tomorrow, hence the late notice for a trip today.
So, if you'd like to get a chance at a glimpse of this bird, meet at the Troyer farm at the end of Tomak Road, here: 42°14'32.9"N 76°16'58.2"W https://maps.google.com/?q=42.242478,-76.282835&entry=gps. At 5:30 today and Adam will take folks back for a try. If you have any questions you can also give Adam a call at 607-659-3261.
