I've enjoyed the postings of the Palo ALgo Bay (S.F. area?).  Black Rail
is one I need (I've seen Yellow up north on their breeding grounds--hard
bird to see even there!). (Note: should be "Alto" above).  Tell me more
about the Sharp-tails.  I suppose that they must be the prairie birds--
"nelsoni."  Are they increasing along the Pac. Coast?

A few Boreal and Hawk owls in southern Ontario--but a slow winter for 
winter birds so far.  I saw a couple of Pine Grosbeaks north of Toronto
last week-end--not unusual here, but a change from the ordinary stuff.
