Observation details
Today, the conditions were ideal for finding Okinawa Rails. It had rained overnight, and there was just light rain in the morning. I set off at 4:30 to do what I like to call the Rail circuit. I started at the path leading to Yambaru Discovery Forest, went past Discovery Forest to Aha Dam, then headed towards Aha Elementary School, Ada Garden Hotel, Ada Village, and back to Fungawa Dam to complete the circuit. I had heard several calls before but only managed to see them once. I got to the start point at around 6:00, and I almost immediately saw one rail scoot across the road on the start-Yambaru Discovery Forest segment. After crossing Yambaru Discovery Forest, somewhere close to Inosisi trail, I saw a pair disappear into the forest. Good start! Not much action until Aha Elementary School. Between the segment of Aha Elementary School and Ada Garden Hotel, I saw more than six of them at different spots. Kuina bonanza! Then, on the way to Ada Village (Ada Fishing Port), I saw one by the road and one more on the way back near Ada Garden Hotel. I stopped counting after 10.
