[Oeserscave@xxxxxxx]

Last weekend while driving through the Caney Fork River area of I-40 in Smith 
county, I noticed a large group of vultures, which awoke my bird senses, then 
some nests high in some trees on the right (south) side of the interstate.  
At first I saw one bird that I couldn't identify, but as we passed and the sun 
angle changed, I saw about 4-5 great blue herons on nests, and about 12 total 
nests.  This was just west of the 3rd ot 4th river crossing going east, not 
far from the rest area.
