I went to Roan Creek in Johnson County, TN yesterday to look for Herons, Peepers, Great Egrets, etc in the mud flats along the shore. It was about 4:30pm and I did not see or hear many birds. There was an Osprey that took off from tree over the water and a crow flew after it. The time for day may be a factor. Anyway, I don't understand why there are not many of these birds on Watauga Lake and it attributers as there is on S. Holston. I was really trying out my optics that I have studied. John W.
