On Thursday evening(June 5)while listening to the black rail close to the
road I heard
another far back into the marsh. I also heard a call which
sounded like a soft "purr-purr-purr-purr" fairly close to the road.
The first bird moved around considerably and called and  went

                                       far back into the marsh(south). At
one time, before going there, it
called 37 consecutive times. John(from Cincinnati)and I stayed
until dark and the bird did not fly across the road or fly anywhere else.
There
were only two other people who stopped and they didn't stay very long.
The first
                                bird, which had gone so far to the south
of the road,  did come back
to its "usual"location near the road. John, would you please e-mail me
privately

Sincerely,
Jim Fry
