South Carolina Black Rails

South Carolina Black Rails Working Group

Photographs and videos were provided by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) unless noted. All photographs and videos of Black Rails were collected using motion-activated cameras as part of SCDNR’s research project (SCDNR Permit BB-20-06), which focuses on the conservation and protection of the species. Every precaution is taken to minimize disturbance to these birds and their fragile habitat during research.
