During a survey of the Seaford marsh this morning, 2 RHWO were found.
It's been a year, since I've seen this species here. A good number of Osprey
were seen over and along the marsh. Seaside Sparrows were vocalizing, but
only a single Clapper Rail called. This is a very low number for this
area, but the tide was high.
