Observation details
Rarely reported on the Boonton CBC but perhaps expected here considering location/conditions/targeted effort (see comments below); 4+ birds giving grunt series and squeaky, staccato “kikikik” calls (much or all in response to my imitations and playback); one bird came in to check me out and made a short flight while giving staccato calls; doc audio In 2021 I began making a strong targeted effort for rails on this section of the CBC. This has been made by walking into the marsh as far as I can make it (approximately here today 40.8302819, -74.3855256) and focusing my efforts out towards the pools to the east. Considering that both the 2021 and 2023 counts produced multiple Virginia Rail (there was a deep freeze event prior to the 2022 count…no rails), I suspect that targeted efforts here in the future will have a good chance at producing rails prior to deep freezing events.
