Standifer Gap Marsh, Chattanooga, Hamilton Co, TN May 22, 2003 Pied-billed Grebe LEAST BITTERN Northern Bobwhite Virginia Rail, 6, singing continually Sora, NONE, perhaps the water is too deep; the last ones I saw were on the lawn-like grass Solitary Sandpiper Spotted Sandpiper American Redstart Sparrows: NONE except one Song Sparrow (I have never seen nor heard of a House Sparrow there.) RUFF: Someone asked about the possibility of RUFFs at the marsh. There are usually a few N. RUFF-winged Swallows among the Barn and Tree Swallows, sometimes a Purple Martin or two, Cliff Swallows very seldom.
