["Carole Gobert" <cpgobert@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Cove at Concord Park (West Knox County) Sunday afternoon in light 
intermittent rain that kept the crowds away but not the birds.  A handsome 
Blue-Winged Teal couple in close (near side of the sandbar where the gulls 
like to congregate) afforded great looks.  A more distant mixed flock on the 
other side of the sandbar had 28 Coots, 3 female Buffleheads and a single 
female Ring-necked duck.  No grebes anywhere.

Chipping sparrows were trilling and looking crisply attractive in their 
breeding plumage (had a couple Saturday at Norris Songbird Trail, Anderson 
County as well).  So, my FOS at Norris and SOS (?) at Concord.
