California Clapper Rail Mayhew 1947 April 26 Bay Farm Island, Alameda Co., Calif. At 7:40 A.M. one individual was seen feeding under a hummock. He walked leisurely along the edge of the bank, occasionally picking up bits of food. He walked much like a barnyard hen. The reddish bill and the rust on the sides of the breast were noticeable.
