I had my life Henslow's on one of Hal's trips on June 18,1988, at around 8 p.m. near Savannah Lake, according to my notes! The black rails on that trip stayed well hidden, calling from the very grass at our feet. I still haven't actually seen one of the little guys. Tom Stock Silver Spring, MD tstock@fmshrc.gov
