Standifer Gap Marsh, Chattanooga
December 22, 2002


Sora:   I think a Sora is still in the marsh.  Four or five times in late 
November and so far in December I have heard a loud clear single note from in 
the cattails near my feet.  Sometimes I immediately played a Sora recording to 
confirm my identification, and also to solicit a response, but never got a 
response.  December 22, a bright day with temperatures in the 60s, I heard the 
complete song.  I waited and listened but there was no repetition.     

Location for all of these sounds: north end of the marsh, near the gravel road 
which crosses the marsh and ends in a loop, approximately where the oil line 
markers indicate the oil line goes under the road.  Visitors, please listen.

Virginia Rail:  2

Sandhill Crane:  1 or more heard overhead, trees blocked view.
