[<thorsch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Bristol Birders,

 I haven't seen mention of the Great Blue Heron nests in Damascus off
Shady Ave. 

If you are heading away from Damascus on Shady Ave toward Shady Valley,
there are at least 2 nests visible, high in the pines to the left,
across from the old Dye-Plant property. The nests with birds sitting in
them are easily visible with the naked eye from the road. Not sure how
many nests are in the area, but I frequently see several Great Blues
flying to and from this area at dusk.

If someone wants to investigate, I'd be happy to go or point them in the
direction.
