Despite morning rains, 19 birders enjoyed birding Cades Cove.  Walking from the 
campground store numerous robins, siskins, goldfinch and Purple finches were 
seen along with a very cooperative male Pileated woodpecker feeding on the 
ground.  At the sewage ponds 6 species of ducks and a coot were observed.  Most 
of the group then went to the western part of the Cove and observed an adult 
Red-headed woodpecker and approximately 30 American pipits were found in a 
field that had been burned last fall near the Cable Mill.
