Standifer Gap Marsh, Chattanooga, Hamilton Co. TN
June 8, 2003,  7:00 - 10:00 AM
A couple of additions to my earlier posting today (in parentheses):

(American Bittern:  We thought we had one view today, 
to brief to count it.  We found out later that Jimmy and Cynthia
had seen an American Bittern at the marsh June 7, evening, so we
are now comfortable counting it for today.)

Least Bittern, several sightings, at least 3 different individuals, 
  no sounds noticed,  one female posed for 10-20 minutes,
  waited while Gary went after his videocam.  

(Yellow-crowned Night Heron, one flyover south to north.)

Blue-winged Teal,  one male with 8 - 12 Wood Ducks

Virginia Rail, at least 4, heard but not seen

Willow Flycatcher,  numerous good views and good sound

Party from Nashville:  

    Gary Casey
    Jeff Cowell
    Susan Hollyday
    Jan Shaw
    Mary Zimmerman
