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

Standifer Gap Marsh, Chattanooga, Hamilton County, TN
July 25 & 26, 2004
Pied-billed Grebe, July 26 on main pond

Possible Little Blue Heron juvenile, July 26 on main pond
  All white, too small to be Great Egret, blue-grey beak,
  Legs grey, not black, wading in deep water.  When it
  flew there was no hint of yellow feet.  

July 25 a Cooper's*  Hawk flew in from the north and checked out 
  the edges of the water and woods. An Eastern Kingbird chased
  it away from the area where a group of Kingbirds were perched
  on the fence in the water.  

  *It is possible that this was a large Sharp-shinned Hawk.  Either
  way it was surprising to see such a small bird threaten it.
