Tri-Cities Regional Airport
Hamilton Road (Wetland Area)
May 11, 2004
Part of an expansion plan for Tri-Cities Regional Airport (TCRA) included
construction of a wetland to assist in treating stormwater run-off from one
section of TCRA property. This wetland is located approximately one-third of a
mile
from Highway 75 after turning onto Hamilton Road along the northwest portion
of TCRA.
Wildlife diversity in this wetland area has been increasing over the past 4 -
5 years since initial construction. While the wetland is on TCRA property
with numerous NO TRESPASSING signs, nice views are available from Hamilton Road
and it offers a nice stop between other birding locations along the Boone Lake
and Boone Dam corridor.
A partial listing of birds of interest this morning included:
Northern Waterthrush
Blue Grosbeak (immature male)
Swamp Sparrow
Savannah Sparrow
Brown Thrasher
Eastern Kingbird
Barn Swallow
