Echoing this, I was there from about 6:55 to 7:10 this morning. There was one
photographer--with a serious lens--there when I arrived (and when I left). The
spoonbill was feeding in the small pond at this time. As I left, cattle were
making their way into the pond, which might prompt the bird to move to the
other pond.
On a side note, this makes my 200th species for Blount County. What a great
bird to mark a milestone.
Many thanks to the Adairs.

morning. It is working between the farthest 2 ponds which are drying up. You
will have to hike to the top of the pasture to view both ponds, about 100
yards. It takes flight and circles, then lands and feeds again. Hope everyone
gets to see it before it leaves! Happy birding! Stacy AdairBlount County2725
