Observation details
Calling from the Route 27 swamp, in a tangle of marsh vegetation and low bushes, opposite the pond between the railroad tracks south of Hospital Road and the athletic fields (that is, on the Route 27 side of the tracks). The bird was _very_ close to the railway. I felt as if I was fewer than twenty feet away from it. The bird called persistently from around 9:50 am, soon after I arrived, until very shortly after 10 am. Other than one series of _kiddicks_ at 10:15 am, I didn't hear it again, even though I hung around for another half hour. Too bad about the gunfire on the recording. It seems to me that it's becoming much more frequent.
