Here is a list of all of the species seen on the fieldtrips at the Chattanooga TOS meeting 4/30 - 5/2. The weather on Sunday curtialed some of the trips and several common species were missed, but we still had some good birds. I want to thank the fieldtrip leaders: Clyde Blum, Bonnie Johnson and David Patterson and also their helpers Dan Williams, Harold Birch, and Dennis Harris. I also want to thank Anita Gaddy for preparing the sign-up sheets. If you know of any other species seen during the three days please let me know and I will add them. Thanks for coming to Chattanooga and come back and bird with us soon!
