Description:

The Eastern Black Rail Potential Habitat dataset is a polygon layer depicting high and low potential habitat locations for Eastern black rail in NC counties that have a USFWS "current" status listing.

The Eastern Black Rail (Laterallus jamaicensis jamaicensis) is one of the four recognized subspecies of black rail and is the only subspecies that occurs along the Atlantic coast of the United States. Habitats used by the Eastern Black Rail along the southern Atlantic coast includes impounded and unimpounded marshes, which can be tidally or non-tidally influenced and range in salinity from salt to fresh. Nests may be built within the marsh or along the edge and hidden within dense vegetation. Black Rails are extremely secretive and seldom seen. While some vocalizations occur at dusk, they are often only heard calling at night, when they vocalize at all. Eastern Black Rails are year-round residents in North Carolina.

Datasets developed under Project ATLAS do not replace any NRTR work for future projects and may not be used as a replacement for site visits / field surveys by qualified professionals and hence should be used only as a supporting platform for decision making. Use of this dataset for project scoping or screening is merely pre-decisional.
