[TN-Bird] Snowy Egrets in East Tennessee

26 APR 04
Netherland Inn Road
Kingsport, TN
This morning I observed 4 Snowy Egrets hunkered in the steady rain on exposed 
rocks in the South Fork of Holston River. Pulsing water levels forced the 
birds to higher rocks revealing the tell tale yellow feet of this dark legged 
species. This marks the first time I have seen this species in our State. Rick 
Knight mentions in his book, The Birds of Northeast Tennessee (1994), that the 
Snowy Egret is a rare spring and fall transient / visitor and most records are 
of single birds.
