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

Brainerd Levee, Chattanooga, TN,  April 6, 2003

American Bittern: mile 1.0 from Shallowford Road, easy to see, at edge of water 
near base of levee, 50 ft from road, 8:30 to 10:30 am.  Unfortunately two dogs 
came along and flushed it up, and it flew across the marsh.

Great Egret: mile 1.2

Green Heron: mile 1.8

Greater Yellowlegs:  behind Boyd School

Turkey: 1 in horse pasture at mile 0.4,  1 on side of levee at mile 1.2

Blue-winged Teal: 80+, many paired off, very vocal (I'm not sure I have heard 
them quack before), some courtship or threat displays (rapidly raising and 
lowering head)

Yellowthroat: 1 heard at mile 1.0,  1 heard and seen along power line near mile 
1.6

Hermit Thrush:  1 along power line, 1 in woods near Brainerd Complex
