Yellow Rail Walks

Written by David Sarkozi
Hosted annually by the Friends of Anahuac Refuge in the spring, the rail walks give birders and birdwatchers the opportunity to see up to five species of rails. The goal is to provide an opportunity to see some of the most elusive birds in Texas, the Yellow and Black Rail. We also regularly find Sora, Virginia Rail, and Clapper Rail on the walks. Sedge Wrens and Seaside Sparrows are also often seen. Learn about rail ecology and management while searching for yellow rails on foot through salty prairie habitat. Walking through marsh habitat can be challenging. Interested participants should wear waterproof boots (rubber boots are best). Don't forget the binoculars, insect repellent, and drinking water. Walks last from 1.5 to 2 hours.
