Lyons Bend/Cove Island Knox Co., TN Out on the island again today in wintry weather, I found an early (for me) Common Yellowthroat. I saw about 50 species today. The most interesting being: Double-crested Cormorant 19 Gadwall 2 American Widgeon 2 Blue-winged Teal 2 Red-breasted Merganser 1 (possibly injured, has been here for weeks) Wood Duck 15 Blue-headed Vireo 1 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 2 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 3 Brown Creeper 1 Pine Siskin 2 Big flock of Swallows over the river again including mainly Tree Swallows, but also Barn, Rough-winged, Cliff Swallows, and Purple Martins.
