	Wetland Birds -- Yellow Rail
		Yellow Rails may be attracted to revegetated, recently burned areas late in the breeding season due to increased food quantity and availability, and the removal of thick residual vegetation may facilitate movement (Robert and Laporte 1999).
		Yellow Rails may be negatively impacted by the manipulation of water levels in an attempt to create a hemi-marsh (wetland containing approximately 50% open water and 50% emergent vegetation) or deep-water marsh for waterfowl use (Bookhout 1995, Alvo and Robert 1999).
		Yellow Rails use wetlands that are shallower and have a greater density of emergent cover than those typically used by waterfowl (Alvo and Robert 1999).
