Very-rare-for Massachusetts Black Rails have been drawing a crowd at the Parker River Refuge at Plum Island. You know a bird experience is special when a crowd of birders is drawn to hear a bird and a local newspaper covers the happening. Any New Yorkers want to give me a ride?

It was great to hear them. If you do make it up this way let me know!
What about taking the train? I could meet you and you could probably crash here…
@Christopher: Let me dig into that idea a bit…
I’m actually heading up July 1 to stay with friends near Boston & plan to make the 2nd my Plum Island day. Happy to give you a lift or meet up with you if you end up there. Christopher, I’d love to check out the refuge with you as well if you’re free that day!
