Cornell Lab of Ornithology | Weathering Tides: Saving the Black Rail in South Carolina @cornell_lab | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
The Eastern Black Rail is a small, incredibly secretive, and federally threatened marsh bird. In wetlands across much of the Atlantic seaboard, the Black Rail's distinctive "ki-ki-doo" call can no longer be heard. But in South Carolina's ACE Basin, biologists, land managers, and private landowners are collaborating to give this tiny rail a foothold for survival—and hopefully, a springboard for a wider recovery.
