Tom, Laverne and Jean,
Great Find! We know those rookeries are in the area. We just have to find them.

Congratulations,

        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.
