I birded Cove Lake today from 11:00 - 1:30. I took the left end of the loop 
past the picnic area at the end of the road, then turned onto the Beaver 
Workshop Loop trail and walked along a creek. The highlight was good looks of a 
singing Kentucky Warbler about 25 ft up a tree. This was seen  where the main 
trail curves away from the marshy area. It was still singing further down the 
trail past the Beaver Workshop Loop trail sign when I came out from that trail 
and had moved back to the original area before I left. When I first heard it I 
was looking up for it whan a Red-Shouldered Hawk flew up off the ground in 
front of me and perched for a minute before diving back down for something. 
Along the creek were 2 pairs (or 1 pair moving) of Spotted Sandpiper.

Kentucky Warbler - 1
Prothonotary Warbler - 2 heard
