In January and March I observed a Great egret with orange tags on each wing 
from the Miser Station Bridge off Louisville Road in Blount County..  I finally 
was able to read the number and reported it to folks in Ontario and New York 
who tagged the birds.  Our bird #10 D  was banded at Nottawasaga Island, near 
Collingwood, Ontario, about a 1.5 hr drive north of Toronto on June 24, 2011. 
It was a flightless young bird that was picked from its nest, tagged it and 
returned to its nest.  They had two reports of wing-tagged egrets from 
Tennessee but this was the first with a number.

If anybody sees a Great egret with orange wing tags they should report it to 
Chip Weseloh at chip.weseloh@xxxxxxxx or Connie Adams at 
CMADAMS@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  They will be using green wing tags in 2011.
