I saw the rail both days in the morning, around 9:00-9:30, near the
fountain and near the ivy-covered outbuilding on the northwest corner
of the National Museum of African Art.  It tends to feed out in the
open, then disappear for varying lengths of time in the hostas, hedges
or other undergrowth.  As I told a birder today, just because you
don't see it right away, don't despair.  Last week and this week,
mid-morning and midafternoon seemed good times to see it.  Noon-time
does not seem so productive.
