Today, 13 March 2005, sixteen members of the Knoxville Chapter of the
Tennessee Ornithological Society birded Cove Lake State Park in Campbell
County near Caryville, TN. An item of note is that we found dead the Mute
Swan that has been resident at the lake for the last three + years. The
swan was on the sand bar on the side of the lake nearest the Interstate
across the lake from the restaurant. Cause of death was not apparent.
Notable sightings included an adult Bald Eagle soaring over the lake, one
Horned Grebe and one male American Wigeon on the lake, and two Brown
Creepers and six Rusty Blackbirds along the woodland trails. A total count
was 56 species as follows:

before using the new cards. You won't have to bear this much longer.
