Egret in WNC



I went to the Park at Lake Lure, NC today and saw a Great Egret wading in
the duck pond.  As I was leaving the bird flew over the river and landed by
the baptist church on the other side.

I also ran the Old Toll road from Montreat, NC up to the entrance to Mount
Mitchell State Park and saw large flocks of migrating warblers.  Most were
above 4,500 Feet in elevation.   I found...
