["Carole Gobert" <cpgobert@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brief visit to the western portion of the Cove at Concord Park, west Knox 
County, Sat. Dec 2 around noon.  The water in the west pond was considerably 
diminished, concentrating 74 Mallards, 3 Gadwalls and 14 Coots at its east 
end.  Highlight of the day was the 2 Horned Grebes in very close in the 
south western cove.  Beautiful!  45 Ring Billed Gulls sat on a sandbar in 
that cove and a Belted Kingfisher was heard.

The privet between these two bodies of water was full of Cedar Waxwings. A 
Hermit Thrush and a Northern Cardinal were under the privet and 3 Dark Eyed 
Juncos were nearby.

Other birds seen/heard were Carolina Chickadees, Carolina Wrens, 3 American 
Crows and a Red-Bellied Woodpecker.

First time since Oct. 7 that I haven't heard Brown Headed Nuthatches (they 
were there the Friday after Thanksgiving) and probably the first time ever I 
haven't seen at least one Great Blue Heron.
