On Saturday 8 of us birded The Cove area in Tazewell County. It was a
beautiful, comfortable day, and the birds were active. We found 56 species.
A couple of unexpected but pleasant surprises were an adult Bald Eagle and a
Warbling Vireo.
The birders enjoying the day were, Don Carrier, Gary Cooper, Daryl Owens,
Roger Mayhorn, David Raines, Mike Sanders, Jane Thornhill, Dave Worley
