I intended to post GRHE (Green Herron) not GBHE (Great Blue Herron). Sorry
about the confusion, my mistake.

Hi Tim
The large tree on the little island was blown over in a wind storm on Thur.
7/5/12. The City of E.R. removed the entire tree (I don't know why) on Wed.
7/11/12. I took into care 4 GBHE nestlings that were removed from the tree the
same day from E.R. Animal Services via the Chattanooga Zoo. All 4 youngsters
were in good condition, therefore they had been well attended over the week by
the adults. We re-nested that afternoon in a temporary nest basket about 15' up
in a nearby Willow. There were several adult and a few immature Greens in the
immediate area & one flew by to check out the nest basket within a few minutes
of our departure. The youngsters were still in pin feathers but were already
climbing around on the branches. I believe the kids will be fine. Please give
me a call at 423-847-5757 if you have any questions or to let me know if you
have observed them.
Warm regards,

(July 13) I was shocked to find today that the little island in the middle of
the Camp Jordan Pond in East Ridge is totally gone!
Green Herons nested on it, and I've seen a good number of other species there.
I have no idea why they did that.
