Observation details
Identification by Michael O'Brien as female "chur" nocturnal flight call of large rail sp., likely Ridgway's Rail. There appears to be no easily accessible reference material for Ridgway's Rail flight calls, but presumably these are similar to King and Clapper rails. I consider this identification tentative as Ridgway's, as I'm not sure one could rule out a vagrant King Rail, but given the proximity to current and historical Ridgway's Rail range, it seems exceedingly more likely that this is a call from a wandering Ridgway's than a vagrant King. Some different edits of the file included here, as well as the original unedited cut. Call recorded at approximately 520AM.
