["Carole Gobert" <cpgobert@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I took a long lunch break today and paid a brief visit to the Eagle Bend 
Fish Hatchery in Clinton (Anderson County) Tennessee as I was curious to see 
the immature snowy egret.  I wasn't disappointed.  It is still there.  I 
found it on a pond to the left as you drive in... 4 ponds back from the road 
(one that has water in it) along with an immature great blue heron and an 
immature and adult green heron.

There were killdeer everywhere, mourning doves, about two dozen Mallards in 
eclipse plumage, & just a handful of Canada Geese, and while I did see two 
shorebirds, I didn't get much of a look at either, didn't have time to try 
for a better look, and am pretty lame at iding shore birds in any case.

On the upper pond at the water near the pipe where Allan Trently suggested 
looking for shorebirds, there were two  adult green herons and a killdeer.  
A great blue heron was fishing at the other end and 17 Mallards were 
swimming around (I included these in the two dozed mentioned earlier).
