Blackbottom Shoals, Elizabethton, Carter County, TN

Dianne Draper and I checked on the three Yellow-cr. Night-Heron nests on city 
property behind the sewage treatment plant.  From now on, for lack of a 
better name, I will refer to this area as Blackbottom Shoals.  We found a bird 
on 
each of the three nests, sitting tight and laying low.  We also found a fourth 
bird just starting a new nest, increasing the number of known active nest 
sites in Elizabethton (including the Sycamore Shoals nest) from four to five.
     We also saw a Red-shouldered Hawk again, who seemed to me to watch us 
closely as we left, repositioning once to get a better view of us.  I suspect a 
nearby nest.
