The Great Blue Heron nesting colony located just north of the Industrial Park off I-40 is active again this year. It's located on the south side of I-40 in the swamp area just east of exit 76 near Jackson, Madison Co. There are 6 active nests. Adults have been sitting near the nests since late February. This site has been active for several years. Also I had 7 Eurasian Collared-Doves yesterday in front of DeVilbiss (where I work) in the Jackson Industrial Park. One bird was singing as I walked in this morning and another one was giving a display flight complete with the "cat call". Good birding, Mark Greene Trenton, TN =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to sign your messages with first and last name, city (town) and state abbreviation. ----------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, simply send email to: tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to: tn-bird-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Topographical Maps located at http://topozone.com/find.asp * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the Tennessee Ornithological Society web site at http://www.tnbirds.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TN-Bird Net Owner: Wallace Coffey, Bristol, TN jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx (423) 764-3958 =========================================================
