[Bristol-Birds] Great Blue Heron

I spent a few minutes watching the Great Blue Herons on the S. Fork Holston 
River along Netherland Inn Road in Kingsport yesterday (05/26).  I could see 
six nests holding young birds. These nests are in Sullivan County. Most of the 
young were nearly as large as the adults feeding them.  I could not see any 
Double-crested Cormorant nests.  Had a beautiful male and female Baltimore 
Oriole foraging and singing in the Sycamore trees overhead.  Also had a flyby 
of a Great Egret while I was here. Here is a photo of four GBH "babies" in 
their nest.
