[TN-Bird] Eagle Bend egrets

Made a short trip to the Eagle Bend Fish Hatchery in Clinton, Anderson 
County this morning.  The highlight for me was seeing a first spring LITTLE 
BLUE HERON looking very elegant and fishing just a few yards from a breeding 
plumaged CATTLE EGRET.  Then an OSPREY flew over with a fish in its mouth.  
The heron & the egret were on the left as you drive in, before you get to 
the road leading down from the upper pond.

All the ponds had lots of water except for one that was nearly dry.  I 
didn't see any shore birds except Killdeer.  Doesn't mean there weren't any. 
  Lots of Cliff Swallows.
