Little Blue Heron at wetland 12 July 2015 Wallace Coffey.jpg



An immature Little Blue Heron was feeding in the shallow water and tall
grass

at Rooty Branch Wetlands in eastern Sullivan County, TN late Sunday
afternoon,

12 July 2015. It was found by Wallace Coffey, Brookie Potter and Jean
Potter.

Jean and Wallace took several photos. This small heron seldom shows up in

the five-county area of Northeast Tennessee and is always a treat. July
records

are more scarce so its appearance adds to the excitement. A much larger

Great Blue Heron was wading a few yards away. This site is just as you turn
on

Lakeview Dock Road near the Bristol Tennessee water filtration plant in

Holston Valley. (photo by Wallace Coffey)
