Standifer Gap Marsh, Chattanooga
November 19, 2002

Snow Goose:  The dark adult, that I reported at Standifer Gap Marsh 11/15/02, 
is still there.  It appears more and more like it may be an escaped captive or 
domestic instead of a wild bird.  It flys well, but usually keeps its distance 
by getting in the pond and swimming to the other side.   I have no idea where 
it may have come from and would appreciate any suggestions.

Virginia Rail:  Still at north end, heard at least 3 yesterday.

Warbler:  I also had a brief view of the greenish back of a warbler in the 
cattails.  Tennessee?
