In the Sunday edition (July 18) of the Elizabethton Star newspaper, there is
a picture of a Great Blue Heron and a Great Egret at Great Lakes Pond in
Carter County.
It's a very nice photo, but the cutline does nothing to educate the
newspaper's readers.
The cutline reads:
A Blue Herring and a White Crane strut their stuff as if prancing down the
catwalk.
I'll be sending an email to the editor in the hope that a correction can be
run. The newspaper has a history of taking wonderful photos of local birds and
hopelessly misidentifying them. A Common Grackle was once ID'ed as a Crow and
a Wood Duck as a Blue-winged Teal. And don't get me started on all the
pictures the paper has published of Canada-"ian" geese.
