Ken Oeser while driving through Grundy County found a small Great Blue
Heron heronry. On April 5 it consisted of two nests with an adult on
each nest. According to Ken, "this site is just west of Elkhead, a few
miles north of I-24 on Highway 50, 200 yards south of the bridge over
Elk River north of mile 201. The nests were in trees on the west side of
Elk River. This is only a mile or so before Highway 50 climbs the
mountain toward Altamont." If you live near this area or going through
it soon and can do a survey of this site, contact Michael at
mlbierly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx The survey form will be emailed or can be
obtained on the TWRA web site at
http://www.state.tn.us/twra/nongame.html (bottom of left column for
link).
 

Also, am still in need of someone to survey the Looney Island heronry in
Knoxville.
