I was able to digiscope a few decent photos of the heron if anyone is interested. I had tried for the Chattanooga Great Whites a couples years back without success while driving through on a business trip. Thanks again to Don Holt for reporting it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dkirschke/ Afterward I rode my bike up Spivey Gap - still a few Black-throated Blues and Greens singing along with the Wood Thrushes and Indigo Buntings. I am afraid rides will be getting quiet and lonesome soon. David Kirschke Johnson City, TN
