Brainerd Levee, Chattanooga, TN
April 20, 2003
Woodcock, flushed in foot-high grass head-high shrubs about 10:00 AM, between
Brainerd Recreational Complex and Brainerd Levee. I looked for a nest, but no
luck.
This looks quite a bit like habitat where friends and I have found Woodcock
nests
near Savannah, TN.
One Northern Shoveler remaining. Ten or so Blue-winged Teal, inclulding a few
pairs
in swampy woods. Could they nest here?
Four Solitary Sandpipers.
Thought I heard a Summer Tanager.
Snake story: Friday at Standifer Gap Marsh I saw a black snake in the top of a
bush
about 6 feet high. I thought perhaps it was waiting for a careless bird to
land. From the
number and diameter of the loops I estimated its length at ten feet. Then I
noticed it
had two heads and two tails. Not much of a way to ambush birds!
