[TN-Bird] Knox County birding Saturday

The Cove at Concord Park, west Knox County, Saturday, Feb. 16, 10:30 a.m. - 
noon.  At least 33 Bonaparte's Gulls outnumbering the ring bills on the sand 
bar/mud flat off the southwest cove.  Ten Horned Grebes (7 in the pond right 
off the parking lot).  And 14 Great Blue Herons in the small heronry just 
across Northshore Drive.  These are more easily viewable from the boat ramp on 
the south side of Northshore Drive a few feet west of The Cove (just follow the 
sign marked "Fields").  At least 8 nests, 3 just rudimentary but 4-5 large ones 
with herons standing/sitting in them.
 
Late afternoon at Turkey Creek wetland, west Knox County, from the parking lot 
at Baptist - not much water, only saw 2 ducks but they were good ones - a pair 
of Green Winged Teal (M/F).  In the creek that runs parallel to Lovell Road 
near McDonald's just 7 Mallards.  Didn't find the Barred Owl that I saw twice 
in January.
