Starr Klein asked me to post this from Saturday, July 9
On Saturday morning, July 9, from 8:00 - 10:30, a small group of
Chattanooga birders went to the Kellerhals' farm (home of Katherine Boyles)
outside Ringgold, GA to observe their wonderful habitat. The property has not
been completely bush-hogged in several years, although a few paths have been
cut, allowing us easy access to various areas. The weather was hot (80° -
90°), very humid and sunny to partly overcast. Below is a list of what was
seen and/or heard.
