["David & Gloria Patterson" <dgpatterson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Standifer Gap Marsh, Chattanooga, Hamilton Co., TN
February 24, 2005
Pied-billed Grebe
Wood Duck 4
Gadwall 40
Canada Goose 5
Mallard 10
Northern Shoveler 8
American Coot 50

Virginia Rail 5, vocal, at least 2 giving 2-note "mating call"

Common Snipe

Sedge Wren, usual location in tall grass/rushes at south end
  Silent, wary.  I haven't seen Sedge Wren since Jan 3.  I
  believe today's Sedge Wren has been there all winter, rather
  than returning early.  The tall grass/rush area is 5 or more acres,
  this bird could easily hide, and in cold weather probably doesn't
  respond to recorded calls (which I didn't use today).
