This post is on behalf of a group of birders, not including myself, who actually stayed up all last night in a marsh in Somerset County:

Beginning last night around 11:30 p.m. until 4 a.m. this morning (4/25/09), 3 YELLOW RAILS were intermittently heard 1/2 way down Rumbly Point Rd. in Somerset County.
Observers included: Hans Holbrook, Mikey Lutmerding, Bill Hubick, Tom Feild, Jim Brighton, Jim Stasz, Ron Gutberlet, Mike Walsh, Stan Arnold, Jonn Hubbell, and Matt Haffner - hopefully I am not missing anyone!
