[Bristol-Birds] Great White Heron

The Great White Heron first found 7 June 2008 during the Elizabethton Summer 
Bird Count,
continues to frequent the Watauga River near the "Fishing Hole" access area.
Lisa Tyler and I met a few local family-friendly folks fishing at that spot who 
pointed us in the
right direction for the heron's evening return perching spot (7:30 PM)  It was 
worth the wait. A local resident (Ed) 
allowed Lisa and I to access his property to get a closer look. We also caught 
sight of a bear-sized beaver and later, a Summer Tanager.
 
When we returned to the fishing area with the family-friendly folks, I was 
offered a freshly caught, 14 inch rainbow trout. They
even offered to clean it for me. It's no fish tale. But it will be blackened 
cajun style 
tomorrow night.
 
The Great White Heron was a life bird for both Lisa and me and cooperated for 
many photos.
