REDDISH EGRET - 1 dark morph juvenile.

Found yesterday by Michael Sledjeski.  This bird was easily seen from the 
access road
just before getting to the coal tipple.  Don Miller & Alice Loftin were present 
and admiring
the bird when I arrived.  Wonderful feeding behavior by the egret.

To my knowledge, this is the second state record.  The previous record was at 
Gallatin
Steam Plant, on 23 Aug - 6 Sep 1997.

Lsr. Yellowlegs - 7
