[TN-Bird] Carter Co. Night-Herons

Thursday afternoon Dianne Draper and I checked out the Yellow-crowned 
Night-Heron nesting colony in the woods beside Blackbottom Shoals (near the 
intersection of Watauga Rd. and Sycamore Shoals Road).  We saw five adult 
YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERONS there.  Two were standing together on a nest, and 
one of them chased off a third bird when it approached too closely.
 
We also looked at the two sites where this winter I had found possible 
Yellow-crowned Night-Heron nests.  We didn't see any herons at the Race Dr. 
site, but at the site crossriver from the Carter Mansion we saw a small heron 
fly through the trees and over Highway 19E...HOWEVER, it was a BLACK-CROWNED 
NIGHT-HERON.
