Sunday 7-13-03 Cove Lake State Park (Campbell county , TN) is starting to show some signs of dispersing breeding birds with Cerulean and Black and White Warblers being heard there early this morn. I still am not able to see well, but my ears are fine, thank God and I am getting back out in the field some after a couple months of being sick. 37 species were present this morning with most being heard only. Purple Martins are around as well as Cliff/ Rough-winged and Barn Swallows. A single Double-Crested Cormorant was swimming near the fishing pier, the first seen since late Spring. I did NOT hear the Swainson's Warbler, and despite my not being able to make as thorough search of the park this year as I did last year, (where the high count was 5 birds) I have concluded that there was only this one Swainsons there this year. I am glad a lot of people saw this bird at the Spring meeting as it may be a long time before they are seen here again. We'll keep our fingers crossed for returns!
