Redheads. (Dennis and Gwen Harris, Kevin Calhoon)
The first report of Cliff Swallows came from the Market Street bridge on

There are at least four pairs of Osprey on nests on the nesting platforms
surrounding Hiwassee Island in Meigs co. (Kevin Calhoon)
Five Virginia Rails and two Sora as well as one Marsh Wrens and and two
Sedge Wrens were at the Standifer Gap Marsh on March 18. (David Patterson)
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.
