[EBB Sightings] Contra Loma Rails

So I followed Jeff Hoppes, who had followed the Schorrs, to Contra Loma
Park.  But stopped first at the reservoir overlook by the golf course, where
a SORA sounded off.  No Bittern.  First time I've been to Contra Loma.
Flushed a snipe almost as I got out of the car at the west end parking lot
(but I didn't "need" it); wandered around the reedy area past the swimming
pool and found a VIRGINIA RAIL, as advertised.  Posed nicely, photographed.
So the two rails add up to 200 for the county for the year.  

Knowing it was a job for me to get to 200, I can't comprehend the dedication
and energy the leaders of the two county chases are displaying!
