Checklist Comments

64°F, overcast, occasional spitty rain throughout the walk. Arrived from the north at the main entrance in search of thrushes. Nangang immediately delivered with a Dusky Thrush not a hundred meters down the trail. The rest of the walk was fairly quiet: from the main entrance out across the island, then back to the north along the ridge trail. Unusual crake-like vocalization heard while observing a small mixed flock, but it may have been an insect.

    Details

    Unexpected. Vocalized in a dense tangle immediately next to me while I was watching a Red-Breasted Flycatcher. Continued for several minutes until I moved to look, then stopped abruptly. Sounds very Baillon’s Crake-y, but maybe also just a weird insect?
