Late this afternoon, Angela Hoffman and I attempted to re-locate the shrike
that has been seen on Hwy 321 in Blount Co, with no success. We then drove
to Ft. Loudoun Dam in Blount Co., where we saw 2 Ospreys on a nest close by
the lower overlook and 3 more Ospreys hunting. Would the Ospreys actually be
nesting this late, or are they perhaps juveniles still hanging out?
We drove across to the Tellico side of the dam so we could get better looks
at the Black-crowned Night Herons that were coming in to roost (We took the
road leading to the lock). We counted 12 Black-crowned Night Herons, some
juvenile.

There were also 4 Great Blue Herons.
