Along with the Glossy Ibis reported last night, the
Swants and I observed the taking of an immature Green
Heron by an adult Black-crowned Night-Heron and
counted on the island at least

8 adult Little Blue Herons
8 Great Egrets
9 Great Blue Herons
21 Green Herons
and 11 Black-crowned Night-Herons.

Also seen near the island were 25 Cliff swallows, 3 D.
C. Cormorants, a Coopers Hawk carrying avian prey
toward the area of the Space Center, and 14 Mallards.

(Little Elder Island is the blue dot divided by the
division of pages 22 and 23 in Delorme at height B.

It is viewable with a scope from an obvious pull-off
on TN 279 going West from TN 127 just south of the
Morris Ferry Bridge).

It has been my very great fortune to find an incredibly wonderful bird.
