Cove Lake State Park, Campbell County
I birded Cove Lake for about 2 hours this morning. The lake is unusually
low - about 6 feet below the normal pool level. Normally this lake, which
is an arm of Norris Lake with its own retention dam, does not have a
noticeable winter drawdown. There were large areas of flats, partially
ice-covered, and most of the open water areas were frozen over. Most of the
waterfowl were in the streams flowing across the mudflats and near the
campground.
Canada Goose - 180, including at least 25 with aluminum leg bands and one
with orange neck color #A7R4
