Many months ago, I spotted a Yellow Rail at Arrowhead Marsh.  My sighting lasted less than 1 second, so I did not report it.
 
I am 90% convinced that my sighting is valid.  I would like to know how I might confirm it.
 
Is there a call I might listen for?  Early AM?  Midnight?
 
Has anyone else seen Yellow Rail at Arrowhead?
 
Help?

Today, Thursday, at high tide at 12:40 PM, a Black Rail was well seen by four birders in our group about 30 feet north of the boardwalk at Arrowhead Marsh, near the Oakland airport, Alameda County.
 
I can't recall any reports of a Black Rail at Arrowhead. Can anyone say how unusual this is for that location?
 
In addition, we saw one and heard several, perhaps close to a dozen, Clapper Rails but that is normal for Arrowhead.
