Another site to add to our growing list of active Great Blue Heron =
rookeries in upper east Tennessee.  This morning around 11:30 am I was =
driving down Netherland Inn road along the S Fork Holston River when I =
looked over and noticed a few Great Blue Herons sitting atop what looked =
like nests on the island just southwest of the old Netherland Inn.  I =
turned around and got out for a closer look. Sure enough there were six =
adult herons and three of them were standing on stick nests.  I counted =
three active nests and one smaller nest that could be under =
construction.  I didn't see these nests last week as I drove by there =
several times, so it appears this can happen rather quickly.  I'll keep =
an eye on them and be on the lookout for others.  Wallace Coffey =
confirms as far as he knows this is a new site.
