This is Kevin Calhoon with the Chattanooga RBA, sponsored by the Chattanooga
Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society.
This is Update Number #3 made on March 15, 2005.
The phone portion of the RBA is still out of service. I am still working on
it.
The Brainerd Levee (Hamilton co.) has been a good place for early migrants
over the last couple of weeks. Yesterday afternoon (March 14) at the levee
I (Kevin Calhoon) had 42 species in less than an hour. Some of the
highlights included:
- 2 Northern Rough-winged Swallows
- 13 Pectoral Sandpipers
- 1 Greater Yellowlegs
- 2 Lesser Yellowlegs
- 78 Wilson's Snipe
- 8 species of ducks (including a male Bufflehead)
- 2 American Pipits
- 2 Rusty Blackbirds
Here is a short update of the Peregrine activity below Chickamauga Dam from
Harold Sharp:
We have not been seeing Dreama (female) much lately, a very good sign that
she may be nesting again on the RR Bridge. Looking back at the sighting
charts that Jack has on the web site we find;
2000--The nest was at the Bluffs and we did not know it until chicks were
seen July 11.
2001--They were nesting on March 11.
2002--They were nesting March 8.
2003--We were expecting nesting in March but the trains caused Dreama to
miss as she left the nest when they arrived.
2004--They were nesting March 11.
The next general meeting of the Chattanooga TOS will be on April 7 at 7:00
PM at Accension Luthern Church, 720 South Germantown Rd.
Get out in the Field and let me know what you see!
