[TN-Bird] Scissor-tailed Flyc. & Great White Heron


On Saturday afternoon Dan Jacobson and I stopped in South Pittsburgh, TN to 
checked on any returning Scissor-tails for this year.  We were able to locate 
an adult male at Beene Stadium (north goalpost) and watch him flycatch for 5-10 
minutes.  We could not locate a nest and we did not see any other STFLs. 



Later on that afternoon Daniel located a Great Blue Heron (white morph adult) 
below Chickamauga Dam in the vicinty of the railroad bridge.  To our knowledge 
this is the first record of a "Great White Heron" for Hamilton County.  
The bird was still present this morning.
