Spring Migration has begun with neotropical migrants making their first
appearance.
A YELLOW RAIL was discovered at the marsh along Standifer Gap Road on April
13 by John Henderson and Dan Jacobson. It was not seen despite attempts on
Sunday. But was rediscovered this morning (April 16) flying across a small
slough between the marsh and the dirt road. It has not been since despite
intensive searching.
Two WHIMBREL were seen in the muddy area next to the marsh on Sunday April
14. Birds have not been seen since.
From I-75 or route 153, go east on Shallowford Road. You'll pass a
Wafflehouse from 153, and just miss it from the Interstate. There is
construction in the area. Look for a new trafficlight (that was
still wrapped in plastic the last 2 days) then look for Gale Lane on
the left. The very next left (with no sign) is the road you want.
Travel 0.85 miles and take a left next to a trailer that is
apparently serving as a church. Follow the gravel/dirt road to the
back. When you hit the T, take a left and go to the end.
BEAR IN MIND THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY, WOOLAND PARK BAPTIST CHURCH SHOULD
BE CALLED TO RECIEVE PERMISSION TO ACCESS IT. (899-9185)
Other birds seen in the area this weekend:
WHIMBREL
American Bittern
Least Bittern
Virginia rail
Sora
Marsh Wren
Spotted Sandpiper
The first report of Eastern Kingbird came from the Standifer Gap marsh on
April 16.

Sharp-shinned Hawks, 2 Cooper's Hawks, and one Red-shouldered Hawk. (Bill
Haley)

April 16. (Libby Wolfe). The first report of Summer Tanager came Camp
Jordan on April 13 (Danny Gaddy) and the first report of Gray Catbird came

The first report of Kentucky warbler came from the Lula Lake property
(Walker, co. GA) on April 14. (David Aborn)
The first report of Indigo Bunting and Orchard Oriole came from the River
Gardens property along the Tennessee River on April 17. (Kevin Calhoon)
White-crowned Sparrow are still being seen along the riverwalk below
Chcikamuga Dam. (Jan Chadwell).
The Pergrine Falcons are still being seen below Chickamuga Dam.
DONT FORGET ABOUT THE NORTH AMERICAN MIGRATION COUNT ON SAT. MAY 11. IF YOU
ARE INTERSTED IN PARTICIPATING AND DONT HAVE AN AREA YOU DID LAST YEAR, CALL
ME AT 821-6802.
The next general meeting of the Chattanooga TOS will be on May 9 at 7:00PM
