This is Update Number #4 made on April 1, 2005.

it.

 

The Brainerd Levee (Hamilton co.) has been a good place for early migrants
over the last couple of weeks.  Yesterday afternoon (March 31) I (Kevin
Calhoon) birded at the levee.   Some of the highlights included:

-          4 Solitary Sandpiper

-          3 Greater Yellowlegs

-          3 Lesser Yellowlegs

-          7 Pectoral Sandpiper

-          9 Wilson's Snipe

-          12 Killdeer

-          2 American Pipits

-          1 Northern Rough-winged Swallow

 

Here are some other interesting migrant reports:

 

-          First Blue-headed Vireo reported by David Aborn in Hamilton co.
on March 16 and Libby Wolfe had another in Ooltewah on March 23.

 

-          First report of Ruby-throated Hummingbird was on March 26 by
Ellen Whitaker on Lookout Mountain and Carol Fegarido in Ooltewah.

 

-          First report of Black-throated Green Warbler was from Libby Wolfe
in Ooltewah on March 30.

 

-          The very first report of Blue-gray Gnatcatcher was by Tanya Iles
in Brainerd on March 15.

 

-          David Aborn banded three Blue-gray Gnatcatchers and a early
Red-eyed Vireo at Greenway Farms along North Chickamauga Creek on March 30.

 

The next general meeting of the Chattanooga TOS will be on April 7 at 7:00
PM at Accension Luthern Church, 720 South Germantown Rd.
