 Black
Rail Range MapThe Black Rail breeds locally along the Atlantic Coast from New York south to central Florida; on the Gulf Coast in eastern Texas and western Florida; in Kansas, and from California to South America. It winters along the coast of California from the breeding range north to Tomales Bay; in the Imperial and lower Colorado River Valleys of southeastern California; along the Gulf Coast from southeastern Texas east to Florida and in South America. The Black Rail inhabits coastal salt marshes and occasionally inland freshwater marshes and wet meadows. It uses grainfields and hay meadows to some extent. The Black Rail prefers higher portions of a marsh, where vegetation is rank and dense and the ground is damp. It spends much of its time under matted grasses in high salt marshes.
