Petrovic CA and King J. 1972. Common Eider and King Rail from the Dry Tortugas, Florida. The Auk. 89(3):660
The authors watched the early spring migration at the Dry Tortugas Islands, which lie in the Gulf of Mexico about 70 miles west of Key West, Florida, and recorded 70 species, the majority land birds. The two records reported here for common elder and king rail represent significant additions to the species known distribution
