This afternoon I was driving on Clifton Farms Road when I saw a large white
bird in the edge of a field near the confluence of the Clinch and Little
Rivers. I went back home and retrieved my camera and when I got back it had
moved on to the Clinch River. I had to backtrack to the road that follows the
Clinch River. When I found it again I could tell it was not a Great Egret and
wasn't my first guess (Cattle Egret). When I was close enough to see the bill
and legs it was a Great White Heron. When I looked at the photos I could also
see the plume on the back of it's head. Photos are at the following link:
