[TN-Bird] nesting cormorant at Kingsport

30 March
S. Fork Holston River
Kingsport (just downstream from Netherland Inn)

Great Blue Heron - 6 occupied nests
Dbl-cr. Cormorant - 1 sitting on nest

This cormorant nest should be watched further to comfirm that it is an
active nest, which is the first known from the 5-county area of
Northeast Tenn.  Of course, cormorants have been nesting on the Holston
Army Ammunition Plant just downriver in adjacent Hawkins Co. since 1992,
although last years nesting was disrupted by the nearby eagle nest.  The
Kingsport nest is undoubtedly an expansion from that rookery.

Black-cr. Night-Heron - 2 - at mouth of Reedy Cr.
