Chatt-A-Birdin’
Neat Stuff About Birds In The Chattanooga Area
posted July 20, 2008

Many birders have never seen a Virginia Rail because they are not in the right place at the right time, last week Charles Dean arrived early at his favorite birdin’ location in Standifer Gap Marsh near the gravel road. A beautiful Virginia Rail was standing near the edge of the road.



Charles noticed that it was acting strange, then suddenly the second Rail appeared.


The Rail then crossed the road, looking both ways.


Then she sent a signal back to the second Rail.


Then Charles realized why they were acting very strange and he had his camera ready.


Suddenly five little black chicks broke from the weeds.


One was dragging along.


Until poppa Rail got on his case.


Thanks to Charles for being in the right place at the right time and sharing his great photos with everyone.

You will not see this neat stuff setting on the easy chair watching TV, Chattanooga has many great birdin’ locations , enjoy life, go check them out.
