Flushed one from under the bridge immediately upon arriving at the boy scout platform, and then it began vocalizing. Spent about 20 minutes looking from on the platform until I spotted it again in the stream going toward the lake, I climbed down from the platform and immediately noticed a second rail much closer to the bridge (still lakeside). Neither ever gave me amazing looks and remained very shy in the reeds, but there were multiple occasions where I observed both of them together, often chasing one another. Last winter I desperately wanted to see the wintering Virginia Rail here and was never given a view until I flushed it one day and never got another view. **Whenever I post photos here they routinely get one-star quality ratings so I can only imagine how posting these obstructed and slightly out-of-focus photos is going to go lol
