Tom, Laverne and Jean, Great Find! We know those rookeries are in the area. We just have to find them. Congratulations, Roger Mayhorn Compton Mt ----- Original Message ----- From: Thomas Hunter To: Bristol Birds ; buchanan co bc Sent: Thursday, April 21, 2011 2:23 PM Subject: [bcbirdclub] Great Blue Heron Heronry - Clinch River Russell County This morning Jean Montgomery, Laverne and I went birding in the Carbo area of Russell County. Approximately 2 miles downriver from the Carbo Power Plant on Power Plant Road we discovered a heron rookery. There were 6 nests that were visible with 7 Great Blue Herons on nests or perched nearby. I am not aware of anyone posting information about this heronry. We had our FOY Orchard Orioles, Scarlet Tanagers, Hooded Warblers, and Northern Parulas on Hazel Mountain Road and Roaring Fork.
