For over a month I have observed a white-phased Great blue heron in the Little River near the Kinzel Springs bridge off US 321 before entering Townsend from Maryville in Blount County. It has also been seen from downstream of the bridge off the Old Walland Highway that parallels US321 on the east side of the river. A Great egret was observed in the same area in late November and again on the Cades Cove CBC. Photos have been sent to the folks who reported it on the CBC to see if it was a heron or egret they saw. Let me know if you would like to see a photo of the heron and I will e-mail it to you in 140kb file.
