Two gorgeous male Common Mergansers were seen at Cove Lake State Park this afternoon near dark. ( Caryville, TN -Campbell County- North of Knoxville, TN ) There were only a few Mallards as well as 3 Gadwall and 2 Green Wing Teal present. Very limited waterfowl this season due to the draw down of water but the Mergansers were a highlight by themselves! This is the 3rd sighting of Common Mergansers here in 10 years. The lake is full of water again after being drained a couple times this winter to kill milfoil algae.
