I returned to Cades cove for the first time in over a month this morning  and 
saw the Sandhill crane that has been reported off and on since June.   It was 
feeding in the field on the left shortly before the first donation  box.  I 
have heard reports of it in the fields near both Sparks and  Hyatt Lanes and 
the sewage ponds.
 
Birding was VERY slow with few birds observed while driving the loop drive  
and working in the Cable Mill area.  Birds seen or heard were:
 
Sandhill crane    1
Wild turkey    8
Crow     20+
E. bluebird     2
Goldfinch     2
Downing woodpecker        2
White-breasted nuthatch     3
Eastern phoebe    1
Carolina chickadee    2
Black-throated green warbler    1
Tufted titmouse    3
Hairy woodpecker    1
Wood duck    36
