A number of birders took advantage of the high tide around 11 AM today to see Ridgeway's Rails and a Sora. At least 4 of the rails were well seen, one only about 10 feet from the deck which extends out into the marsh. Much of the deck was filled with Willets and Marbled Godwits, But this particular Ridgeway's Rail was right at the end of the handrail section of the platform.

Birders should be aware that Arrowhead Marsh was scheduled for destruction
by the "Invasive Spartina Project." I understand that plan is now on
temporary hold. For more information on the Invasive Spartina Project,

Ridgway's Rails, a Federally listed Endangered Species have declined by
more than 50% in SF Bay since the project began. Here is a link to more
information about the rail's decline...
