NAD83 20T 383589 4930223. =20 I was at the Pat and I went to the French Basin Trail Today. (Annapolis Ro= yal Marsh Trail) We met Laura and Hans Toom in the parking lot and we tried= for the Virginia Rails reported there. We were unsuccessful and only saw = some sora rails. We heard a call which could have been from a Virginia rai= l=2C but when a playback occurs and young are present they run right out an= d around your feet. This did not happen. I went back to the area where we= thought the virginia rail was later after walking around the marsh. I hea= rd a similar call as before which is similar to what I heard in getting the= virginia rail out=2C but it was a sora making the call. I actually had si= x adult sora rails. In the area where the virginia rail was supposed to be= I had two adult sora rails only and clearly saw two juvenile sora rails. = They were exact miniture replicas of the adults except that they were still= all fuzzy. The whole time that I was present at the marsh I only heard so= ra rails calling. =20 =20 The two ruddy ducks were still present and there were many juvenile wood du= cks. There was still one very young Canada gosling present and I think tha= t is the first time I've ever been hissed at by Canada Geese as I walked by= them. Two blue-winged teals were nice to see and a nice bunch of green-wi= nged teal males were a nice treat for me. Three northern shovelers were al= so nice. Lots of other birds abounded. I had some breeding evidence for o= ther species=2C but will check the listing to see if the species that I obs= erved were listed at the level that I found. =20 =20 James R.
