Standifer Gap Marsh, Chattanooga, Hamilton County, TN March 26, 2007 Great Blue Heron: 7 Bufflehead: 2 Wood Duck: 5 Gadwall: 2 Canada Goose: 30+, 2 nests, each with sitting adult, one with 5 eggs BLUE-WINGED TEAL: 1 WILD TURKEY: 1, First we have seen or heard of at the marsh. This one flew west down the center of the gravel road, about 3 feet above the road, went up slightly to clear the gate, came straight toward us to within 30 ft, then veered south and up, landing in a willow tree beside the water,- most unexpected and impressive behavior!
