Virginia Rail adult near downy black fledglings in a marsh.
Observation details
At least 14 downy young running around and three adult pairs! First saw 6 downy young, then heard and eventually saw two other smaller groupsRecording of young calls and photos of young and adults obtained. Based on where adults were seen and heard calling, and black fuzzballs were calling and running around, the three nests would have each been 75-100 feet apart (two east of the boardwalk, one west). Have never experienced anything like it!
