Clapper Rail Spotted at Heron's Head Park

Last summer, I was out volunteering with Literacy for Environmental Justice at Heron's Head park and Myla Ablog, ecologist for the park, mentioned that they were very excited at having seen a clapper rail in the marshes (more from Nature in the City). Well, even though some bird experts apparently dismissed the sighting as a singular event, a pair of the birds has now been seen, nesting and with chicks.  This is a great sign for the restoration of the wetlands in this area.
