OK, Virginia rail, upon a better look. From the second (edit: it's the third) bench on the trail looking toward the creek is an isolated patch of cattail. The bird flushed as I approached, flew across the creek, and walked into the vegetation.
Other birds of note: 3 semipalmated plovers, one long-billed curlew, a common yellow throat, two American wigeons. And hundreds of the usual suspects.
