Please see the following note from Roger McCoy, TN Div. of Natural Areas. Of special interest to Chattanooga and Knoxville area birders. Richard Connors, Nashville Richard: Yesterday I had the chance to visit Sweetwater Marsh; I was part of a group meeting to discuss conservation plans for the site. The site contains two state-listed plants and although is surrounded by development is a decent wetland in the Ridge and Valley. Can you place an inquiry with the birding community as to whether some TOS members have visited the site, and/or if some notes were published in The Migrant? I searched the online TN bird Freelist, but was unable to find any information on this site. I know that Alcoa Marshes contain some interesting birds, so I was curious about the site in Sweetwater. The landowner indicated folks are welcome to visit the site, so if a TOS member wishes, I would be happy to provide more information. Thanks for your help.
