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

November 10, 2002
Standifer Gap Marsh, Chattanooga

American Bittern (1), probably not the one reported 10/30; the 10/30 bittern 
showed a very sharp contrast between the dark brown back of the wings and the 
tan parts; today's bird seemed to show much less contrast. It flushed about 200 
feet south of the gravel road along the ditch which runs from the road to the 
open water.  It flew about to the middle of the east side, where most people 
cross the black fence into the marsh.

Tree Swallow (1)
