[TN-Bird] Pelican, cattle egret, blk tern (Gallitin)

Overcast weather and occasional light rain made for nice birding at Gallitin 
Steam Plant this AM (7/26/08).  As I panned across the herons and egrets on 
Pond A, I happened upon a lone American white pelican.  Also on Pond A were 
6-10 cattle egret (adult and imm) roosting in a tree.  15+ black terns were 
around as well.  Thought I heard a least bittern but never saw it.  Species
