You have reached Kevin Calhoon with the Chattanooga RBA, sponsored by the
Chattanooga Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society.
This is Update Number #6 made on March 15, 2003.
Spring migration is picking up at the Brainerd Levee with the first report
of Northern Rough-winged Swallow (15) and Purple Martin (7) along with one
Lesser Yellowlegs, three Pectoral Sandpipers, 3 Wilson's Snipe, 2 Palm
Warblers, American Pipits and the usual other waterfowl. Also a beautiful
domesticated Bar-headed Goose was present with the Canada goose flock.
(Betty and Jim Wampler, Kevin Calhoon)
On March 9 two Lesser Yellowlegs, and one Pectoral Sandpiper were at the
Brainerd Levee and a Tree Swallow was at Standifer Gap Marsh. (Marty Paige)
Fourteen Sandhill Cranes were at the Levee on March 13. (Alberta Oliver)
There is now some Peregrine Falcon activity below Chickamauga dam.
Apparently a new female is present with the old male which has been present
for several years. She looks to be a young bird with some immature plumage
remaining. (Harold Sharp)
This is still a great time to see the displaying American Woodcocks at the
model airplane field on Moccasin Bend. The beeping starts about 7:00 EST.
At least two males were in flight on March 6 and they are still being seen.
(Kevin Calhoon)
The next general meeting of the Chattanooga TOS will be on April 10 at
7:00
PM at the Accension Luthern Church 720 South Germantown Road.
Spring migration is heating up. Get out in the Field and let me know what
you see!!
