[AHoodedWarbler@xxxxxxx]

My parents, Amos and Peggy Stevens, found a Yellow-crowned Night-Heron this 
morning (May 8) in a small pond next to Simerly Creek Road just about a 
half-mile inside Unicoi County from the Carter County line.
My parents informed me about the bird and I went with David Thometz to also 
observe the Yellow-crowned Night-Heron. I also took some photographs of the 
bird. 

Here's a link to one of the photos: http://members.aol.com/ahoodedwarbler/

Yesterday, while helping Gary Wallace with the "early bird walk" hosted by 
the Lee & Lois Herndon Chapter of TOS for the Roan Mountain Spring Naturalists 
Rally, participants got several good looks of Yellow-crowns on the ground and 
in flight. 

This is, however, my first sighting of a Yellow-crowned Night-Heron in Unicoi 
County, TN.
