    Zapata Rail rediscovered

    Is it really more shy than many small crakes and rails living in similar habitat? A wide channel is very unlikely to give an observation of a rail, even if it is calling nearby. When I started birding, I spent literally hours listening to rails and crakes few m away, and they never went this...

    Zapata Rail rediscovered

    So, during 8 years since this thread started, nobody made another serious effort to see the Zapata Rail?

    Zapata Rail rediscovered

    If somebody cuts some passages in the reedbed, and establishes a small mealworm feeder like in this thread: http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=320619&highlight=difficult+feeders, Zapata Rail could well become twitchable. And lots of further information can be gained. :)

    Zapata Rail rediscovered

    Sounds like a good project for Neotropical birdwatchers: tape the call and verify it by luring back the Zapata Rail. I foresee a new book by Mr Robb.: 'Rediscovered rails'. ;)
