I made the following observations of heronries in Lincoln and Marshall counties
today:
On Swan Creek near Taylor Town, hwy 64 west of Fayetteville: ten total
nests.Seven birds visible on or near nests. This nest total is down by 1/2 from
2009.
On Swan Creek RD. 2.5 miles south of the Taylor Town site:nineteen total
nest with birds visible in or near ten of the nests. This count is similar to
numbers in previous three years.
On Cane Creek at Petersburg Tn. : Eleven nests in two trees 100 yards apart.
All the nest at this location were destroyed during this winter so all the
construction is essentially new. I was unable to get an accurate count of birds
here due to having to park on the highway (hwy 130) and due to the fact that
vultures are using the same trees as a roost. There were 100+ vultures there at
the time.
Anyone who would like direction to these sites, feel free to contact me.
