[TN-Bird] Cades Cove Sewerage ponds

A quick trip into the Cades Cove sewerage ponds in Great Smoky Mountains  NP, 
Blount County, at 2:15 PM revealed 53-57 Bufflehead (hard to count the  
diving little buggers), 25 Canada geese, 15 Mallards, one Greater yellowlegs,  
and 
one American pipit inside the enclosures.  Along the wood line were one  
Eastern phoebe, 2 White-breasted nuthatch, 2 Yellow-bellied sapsuckers, 3  
Eastern 
bluebirds, 1 Tufted titmouse, 2 Song sparrows and a Carolina wren.   Three 
crows were calling in the distance along with one Pileated  woodpecker.  
 
Weather was sunny, breeze out of SW and about 54 degrees.  A very  enjoyable 
15 minute break from volunteer tasks.
