Snapps Bridge, Washington Co., TN
D. Holt
I have been watching 4 large stick nests on the Nolichucky River in Washington
Co., TN, just downstream of Snapps Bridge on river right. Today there were
three Great Blue Herons on them. The nests are best viewed from the roadside
on river left near the bridge, but they can also be seen, more distantly, from
the cemetary at New Harmony church where we often park to scan for the albino
Red-tailed Hawk that lives in the area. Just look across the middle of the
plowed field near the river at the large multitrunked Sycamore tree. A scope
would be helpful to observe details from the cemetary.
Just a thought about the Fort Henry Dam heronry: some enterprising student
could make some very detailed observations of the nesting process there. The
view from the parking lot at the Dam Overlook is from above the nests, counts
of eggs and nestlings, and timing of developments could be recorded. Anyone
have a student in need of a project?
