Today while volunteering at Cades Cove in Great Smoky Mountain NP, Blount
County I had 40 species including FOS Blue-headed vireo, Blue-gray gnatcatcher,
Rough-winged swallow, Barn swallow, Louisiana waterthrush, Gray catbird and
Barred owl. There were only 13 Bufflehead on the sewerage ponds (down from
68 last Tuesday) along with 14 Wood ducks, 2 Mallards and 2 Wilson's snipe.
With schools on break in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Florida there were
loads of visitors enjoying the mid-70 temps. A single black bear was
reported near the Methodist Church. Wild turkeys were displaying at three
locations
along the loop road.
On the way home at 4:14 PM I observed the white morph Great blue heron in
the Little River about 1/2 mile north of the Kinzel Springs bridge on the Old
Walland Highway.
