Yesterday (4/21/07), the Chattanooga Nature Center and Reflection Riding
Arboretum held a BioBlitz, which is an intensive 24-hour survey of all =
the
biodiversity in an area. Teams of volunteers sampled plants, fungi, =
fish,
insects...everything. Close to 700 species were found overall, and the =
bird
team racked up 81 species seen, heard, and or mist netted. The complete =
list
is below. Highlights included 2 Cerulean Warblers (one of which was in =
the
same tree as a Blue-winged Warbler) and a Solitary Sandpiper. Many of =
the
flycatchers were conspicuously absent, and numbers of some other species
seemed low. As Bird Taxon Leader, I want to thank everyone on the bird =
team
for helping to make the event a great success!
