[Birdglass44@xxxxxxx]

Tuesday while volunteering at Cades Cove in Great Smoky Mountain National  
Park (Blount County) I observed the following birds while trying to keep park  
visitors from interfering with buck white-tails in pursuit of females.  It  was 
the most active day I have seen with over a dozen 6,8 or 10 point  bucks 
chasing does around in many locations along the 11-mile loop  road.
 
Great blue heron 1
Bufflehead 37 (on sewerage ponds)
Mallard    1 (on sewerage ponds)
Canada geese 22 (on sewerage ponds)
Northern harrier 2 (females)
Red-tailed hawk    2
Red-shouldered hawk 1
Wild turkey    5
Greater yellowlegs 1 (sewerage ponds)
Downy wp    2
Pileated wp    5
Red-bellied wp    1
Eastern phoebe    8
A. crow    15+
Carolina chickadee    2
Tufted titmouse    6
Carolina wren    3
Golden-crowned kinglet    1
Eastern bluebird 8
Robin    2
Hermit thrush    1
N. cardinal 4
Song sparrow    11
Swamp sparrow    2
White-throated sparrow    7
Meadowlark    47
 
Not too bad for not really birding in the Cove.
