Scalzi Riverwalk, CT: King Rail
There were reports of a continuing King Rail near Stamford so I took a chance with Snouty to go try and see it. At first it seemed doubtful we would find it and we saw an entertaining Green Heron up close that kept our spirits up. Long story short, we got the King Rail by working as a team and I yelled over to Snouty when I first spotted the bird creeping through the "brush" near the stream. It came out in the open briefly before hiding in the weeds again. Later reports suggested the King Rail was molting perhaps explaining why it was in such an odd location. Also saw a nice looking Great Egret, Grackles, Swifts and Goldfinches. A Red Tailed Hawk was overhead calling. (Lifer #349 for continental USA)
