Did some birding in Blount County, Tenn. this past Saturday.  At the Whites 
Mill Wildlife Refuge I walked around the dikes one time and did not find the 
Bittern.  I did see a beautiful male Blue Winged Teal at pretty close range, 
both on the water and in flight.  At a boat ramp on Route 129 (opposite a Fast 
Lap) (it's the 2nd boat ramp traveling south on 129 from Monroe County I think) 
was a breeding plumaged Common Loon (it's head and neck area had not completely 
molted into breeding plumage).  Watched it dive for a while until a passing 
boat made it move farther to the north though still in range.
