The two types of birds look alike but you can hear a big difference. The Rail I
heard yesterday would cluck a pattern of 13 then a pattern of 16 clucks,,
then for drama would add a harsh 3 time cluck. He/she did this for three hours
and 20 mins, the only time it stopped clucking was when it was moving spots.
Then right back to clucking.
Pix is a King Rail,
Thank You
