Standifer Gap Marsh, Chattanooga, Hamilton Co. TN July 7, 2004
LEAST BITTERN:  Found 2 more nests today.  One had a female incubating 5 eggs.  
The other was old and empty (however, one nest I had called old later had 1, 
then 2, and today 4 eggs; the female at this nest was one of the most vocal 
birds I have ever heard)

BLUE-WINGED TEAL:  Flying everywhere, one or two at a time, except the largest 
group had 5.  

NIGHT HERON:  Each of the last three mornings a Night Heron has crossed the 
area about 8:00 AM, going south.  I would think it is the same one, and a 
Black-crowned seems more likely.

WILLOW FLYCATCHER:  Two adults busy feeding young in nest.  They won't be in 
the nest much longer.  Monday I looked in, and the young had clear wing-bars; I 
don't think it wise to go close to the nest again.
