[Bristol-Birds] a beautiful Great White Heron standing on the rocks

Wallace,
 
Not a slip up. Much to our surprise there was a beautiful Great White Heron 
standing on the rocks in the river providing excellent close looks. Don got 
some pictures. Funny a bird like that has to take second billing to the grebes. 
Pretty cool day for such a hot day.

  The Pied-billed Grebe breeding record is the first for Northeast Tennessee
  in more than half a century -- dating back 68 years to at least 1950.
  That is a neat find !!  

  Let's go birding......

  P.S.  Is the "Great White Heron" a name slip up ?  No spring or summer
  records in region -- only four for Aug. and one for Oct.

    On Saturday, 6/7/08, during the Elizabethton Summer Bird Count, Don Holt, 
Diane Draper and I found a Pied-billed Grebe with two young on the Watauga 
River just upstream from Sycamore Shoals near the dog pound. We saw a juvenal 
Red-shouldered Hawk flying overhead off of Watauga Road. At the TWRA access 
area on the Watauga River, a little downstream from Elizabethton, we found a 
Great White Heron.
