TN birders, Forgot to add the last two stops last night to the earlier report. After leaving Brainerd Levee about 6pm, went to Standifer Gap Marsh and found a few mallards, one male northern shoveler, and mostly gadwalls in the front pond. Walked the gravel road in the back, and ev en though I heard a few mallards, all ducks were out of sight. On my walk out, had a sora to spontaneously call. I immediately clapped my hands 4-5 times, got the sora cranked up, and had responses from 4 Virginia rails! Both rails were FOY species. After my class, got back to Cleveland around 10pm and checked to see if the woodcocks or barred owls were still calling, but all was quiet.
