I was out at the boat ramp in Concord Park in west Knox County before 7 a.m.
this morning and saw Steve & Gail's two COMMON LOONS. What beauties! So
glad I worked late last night and saw their message before I left.
Two HORNED GREBES were also present when I arrived. I watched the loons
diving for about 20-30 minutes, sometimes at fairly close range in the cove.
Then decided to investigate the next small cove to the east where I'd seen
some waterfowl heading; thought the loons may have gone there too. To do
that I drove east a short distance and parked at the tennis courts/walking
trail lot. Went out the short walking trail to its south end and headed
across the grass to the water's edge. The loons were in the air, they
circled a couple times and flew to the north. This was around 7:15.
Three NORTHERN ROUGH WINGED SWALLOWS were perched a few feet from me,
looking cold.
In the next cove to the east of the walking trail were about 25-30 water
birds, including 11 or 12 BLUE WINGED TEAL, mostly males. A like number of
COOTS, a few MALLARDS and two CANADA GEESE.
Thank you so much, Gail and Steve for posting the LOONS.
