Standifer Gap Marsh, Chattanooga, Hamilton county May 18, 2008 Least Tern: One adult male flying over the south pond for at least 1-1/2 hours. As I waded near the largest island, near the west side, it seemed to be trying to scare me away, flying toward me and sounding. It could have been that I was in the spot where it wished to feed and did feed after I left, but it acted as if I was near it's nest. Least Bittern: No sign nor sound, no nest found in 2 hours diligent wading; very different from the past three years. Much less water around the bases of the cattails than in previous years.
