For only the third time in birding this county, I encountered 4 Black Duck 
today swimming with 4 Mallard on a section of the east prong of the Little 
Pigeon River in Jones Cove area of Sevier County. They were just downstream 
from the Dixon Branch Road bridge over the river. What seems different about 
this sighting is that the Black Ducks were on moving water, albeit, not a very 
big or fast running river; it's more of a lazy agricultural stream, but with 
wooded margins. Part of this is likely due to the many small ponds around here 
still frozen, but also in part, fortune.
