I’m going to the 14th Annual Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival in January and I’m going to see a Black Rail! To be more specific, I’m definitely going to Space Coast and dearly hope to see a Black Rail (and a Masked Duck.) How about you? Check out the YouTube SpaceCoastBirdFest Channel to get extra motivated. Then GO REGISTER!

SEE a Black Rail, as in “make visual contact”?
Oh, good luck with that… (seriously, good luck!)
Yes, good luck with that (g)Rail Bird.

Maybe you can to visit us soon, there is a lot more ground to cover 🙂
I appreciate your confidence and support, gentlemen, such as it is. Now I may have to actually get a picture of a Black Rail, possible battling a Yellow Rail.
