My favorite place to look for (or listen for)rails is the board walk at South Padre Island. They now have an entry fee, though, and I don't go there so often. I'm happy to see your rail!<br />K.Kay Baughmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18043467782584362763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264193705821192168.post-6877497676860777152010-05-24T11:02:05.645-04:002010-05-24T11:02:05.645-04:00They are gorgeous!
