Secret Vistas: Guntersville State Park

Thanks to a bunch of folks on the ALBIRDS listserv, we now know this is a green heron [butorides virescens]. We stopped by the Swann Bridge in Blount County off Highway 79 on the way back from an investigative trip across North Alabama to Ft. Payne, Rainsville, Scottsboro and Guntersville. We ended up camping overnight on some free public access TVA land by Guntersville Lake, and then launched the canoe this morning at a free boat launch just before the main entrance to Lake Guntersville State Park. They were testing the high speed wireless Internet connection there, so this could be a regular day trip from Birmingham to blog on a picnic table in the woods by the lake or the Tennessee River.

    Cool — wireless at the state park. We went to Guntersville on vacation a couple of years ago, and it’s beautiful there. The ability to blog too? A major plus.
