Sex, Age, Comment | Adult. Rather common around La Vega. Recently split from King Rail, but visually and sound wise it has not been defined how it is separated from Ridgway's Rail which in Mexico is present at coastal localities all the way south to Colima - at least. Traditionally the two have been separated namely on choice of habitat, Ridgway's prefering saltmarshes with higher salinity and Aztec brackish or fresh water habitat. Personally I think that this simple rule to separate the two is problematic, especially in the area where the two are very close - the coastal areas of Nayarit to Colima. | ||||||||||||
