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

Standifer Gap Marsh, Chattanooga, Hamilton County
May 25, 2006
Least Bittern nests:  found 3 new nests May 21 and 4 new nests May 24, all 7 
complete and nice looking but 0 eggs.  

  Total to date:  15 nests,  2 fledged already.  By May 24, 2005, 5 nests.    
  Spending less time but finding more, especially new nests  
  (experience or population growth?)

Virginia Rail:  Only nest so far, 2 eggs May 4,  8 eggs May 15 to 24,  3 eggs 
and 5 shells May 25, no evidence of predator, concerned adult in area,-- but 
this seems too short for incubation.

Willow Flycatcher:  singing, 2 still acting "nesty", possible nest 12 ft high 
but could be warbler nest.
