["Carole Gobert" <cpgobert@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a pond next to some apartments at the busy intersection of Deane 
Hill Drive and Morrell Road in west Knoxville.  It is very shallow now due 
to overgrowth of some kind of algae (?) or water plant (looks to me like 
evergreen shrubs beneath the water... you can tell I'm no botanist).

I've never noticed any birds in the pond when I've driven by until 
yesterday, Sunday afternoon around 3:15.  Thought I saw a green herson, so 
turned around and went back to investigate.  I found not one, but 7 green 
herons either standing around in the pond or on or under the railing that 
surrounds it.  Also, 2 belted kingfishers.
