Clutch size of the clapper rail

January 1, 1960

Incidental information concerning the clutch size of the Clapper Rail (Rallus longirostris) was obtained during other studies of this species in the extensive salt marshes near Chincoteague, Virginia. Clutches were considered complete when repeated visits to the nest showed no additional eggs or when embryonic development could be clearly detected.
