Scott Somershoe, TWRA State Ornithologist, is conducting this year a state-wide breeding survey on wading birds. I am assisting in coordinating this effort. Coordinators have been obtained for breeding sites named in the wading birds document of the IBA. There are many breeding sites that are not known. If you know of a site, contact Michael Bierly at mlbierly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx The survey form can be found on the TWRA web site at http://www.state.tn.us/twra/nongame.html (bottom of left column for link) or Michael can send it to you. Also, if you are able to observe a previously known heronry, your observations are welcomed. If you find a heronry, send you observations even though there may be a coordinator for it. It is likely that you won't know what is being covered or if your find is a new one. All observations will be included in a web document that will be posted on the TOS web site. You help in making this survey as complete as possible if very much appreciated.
