"Yesterday evening (8/19) I had to attend an adjunct faculty meeting at the 
Columbia State CC main campus.  I left early enough to spend a little time 
birding, and decided to check out Arrow Lake near Mt. Pleasant.  This small 
lake is located along Tn Hwy. 166 SE of Mt. Pleasant, about 2 miles off Hwy. 
43.   The best view is from the eastern shore along Arrow Lake Road.  I 
approached the lake from the south, and pulled off into the first gravel drive 
along the shoreline.  There were several waders in the upper end of the lake, 
so I set up my scope.   The first bird in my view was an immature Roseate 
Spoonbill!  The bird was perched on a fallen tree on the western shoreline.  
Other birds present were 10 Dc Cormorants, 8 GB and 2 immature LB Herons and 2 
G Egrets.
