[Bates Estabrooks <bldg9212@xxxxxxxxx>]

TN Birders,
 
Yesterday (8/1) as I drove out of my driveway in rural Anderson County (~25 mi. 
NW of Knoxville) I was surprised by the conspicuous presence of a Cattle Egret 
standing a few feet from my bumper.  Having never seen one in the area before, 
I was a bit taken aback.  Is this an unusual sighting?  My old Peterson's 
doesn't show them being here.  Sibley shows them present during migration (Aug. 
1?).  Any thoughts?
 
Thanks.
