Thanks, all, for the answers! Had no idea it was in Nat Geo NA guides. The “corncrake” vs “crake, corn” in the index was where I was hung up. Should have tried looking up scientific name in the index. Thanks again! On Wed, Nov 8, 2017 at 11:54 AM Robert Paxton wrote: > One

One problem is that it does not appear under "crake" in the index of most European field guides - it's indexed as Corncrake. But Crex crex should work. Bob Paxton On Wed, Nov 8, 2017 at 11:36 AM, wrote: > What field guide is this bird in? I lugged my Svennson Birds of

Hi Brian and all, Corn Crake is in fact depicted in that book, but on page 110-111, with Quail and Button-quail, confusingly a few pages prior to the Rallids. It is also depicted in the National Geo Guide, and, interestingly, in the old Peterson guide (and very nicely at that). Its presence in
