[Bristol-Birds] Re: great blue heron nests

FYI at the Patrick Henry Dam Heronry I observed a Heron carrying nest
material into a much lower location. As you stand directly in front of the
Heronry on the ridge top, (Gravel lot at maintenance bld.), a heron made
several trips to the left between the bride and the dam. I do not know how
to access this area to confirm, but several trips were made.

Rick, Wallace et al.,

Actually there were two Great Blue Heron nests on that same island on 2
May 2005, as I reported on that date to both Tn-bird and bristol-birds.
I was out of town over that summer, so I don't know their fate.  By
winter, they had largely been destroyed by weather.  Nice to know that
they are rebuilding this year.

Sorry for the late response, but I just returned from Costa Rica.

>Another site to add to our growing list of active Great Blue Heron
rookeries in upper east Tennessee.  This morning around 11:30 am I was
driving down Netherland Inn road along the S Fork Holston River when I
looked over and noticed a few Great Blue Herons sitting atop what looked
like nests on the island just southwest of the old Netherland Inn.  I
turned around and got out for a closer look. Sure enough there were six
adult herons and three of them were standing on stick nests.  I counted
three active nests and one smaller nest that could be under
construction.  I didn't see these nests last week as I drove by there
several times, so it appears this can happen rather quickly.  I'll keep
an eye on them and be on the lookout for others.  Wallace Coffey
confirms as far as he knows this is a new site.
