Subject: [mou] King Rail search update
A while back, the status of King Rail generated a lot of discussion on =
this
list serve. In an effort to work toward a harmoneous resolution to =
some of
that dissent, I suggested we (birders) do an organized search for this
species to help identify how common or uncommon it is. It was/is my =
intent
to provide both a survey protocol and recording document to accomplish =
this
task.
I wanted to review the two primary existing marsh bird survey methods =
prior
to establishing our search protocol. Unfortunately, this process took
longer than I expected. After evaluating the time frame needed to =
create
documents and disseminate information, I decided it could not be done =
in a
satisfactory manner this spring/summer.
Therefore, in the short term, I encourage all birders who are actively
looking for King Rail to record the time they spend doing so and the
location of their search. Please e-mail this information to me in a =
timely
manner. Of course, should anyone actually encounter this species, =
they
should share their findings with the entire birding community, =
provided it
does not compromise the well being of the bird/s. Also, ALL SIGHTINGS
SHOULD BE EXTREMELY WELL DOCUMENTED with photographs, audio =
recordings,
sketches or confirmation by other birders.
You will hear more about the King Rail search protocol later, when =
some
things get ironed out. I thank everyone for their patience.
