Rallus limicola limicola
March 13 - West End of Elk Valley, Marin County, California.
This morning at 12 noon I found one ♂ in a Museum
special snap trap I had set in fresh water marsh. The
rail was caught in the trap by its right leg, being alive
when I found it. Another Virginia rail was seen this
morning in this marsh. The one caught is number 125
in my catalog; tibiae were large - Rt. 14 x 7 mm, Lt. 7 x 5 mm.
Earlier in the day I caught a ♀ black rail in another
trap 10+ ft away.
