Observation details

I submit the documentation below and that from 20 SE 2000 in full knowledge that this record has not been accepted by the Alaska committee as there is no photogrpahic or specimen evidence. The submission may be of some value. The object for today was for all to see the crake and try to identify it. The group assembled at 10 and , once again, flushed the bird. It was a brief view and we could not after several sweeps flush it again. So the entire group met again at 1700. This time we had great success flushing the bird three times getting very good looks. We saw it at eye level coming and going and scuttling through deep grass. Additional features I saw today; . dark shadow through eye on cinnamon head colour. . three or four black bars on white lower flanks . size in between Yellow Rail and Sora . white dots on the back , which appeared to be tips of the scapulars . rich chestnut base to most dorsal feathers . in flight, white tips to greater coverts producing a white line along the wing. long, dangling, greenish (?) legs
