Checked out Spark's Lane and the sewage ponds in Cades Cove (GSMNP) today from 
~10:00 - 12:15. Birds were a little light but I got another juvenile RED-HEADED 
WOODPECKER near the first stream crossing on Spark's Ln. (w/ the gravel parking 
area). It was clinging to the top of a fence post trying to fit in w/ the many 
Phoebes around it perched on fence posts. It then flew up to a nearby tree for 
a minute or two before flying north. My best looks ever but I wish an adult 
would show up.
partial lists:

   Spark's Ln:
Common Yellowthroat - 1
Louisiana Waterthrush - 1
Red-Headed Woodpecker - 1 juv.

   sewage ponds:
Palm Warbler - 2
Pine Warbler - 1
Wood Duck - 19 (4 males)
Great Blue Heron - 1

13 Monarch butterflies (all flying SW)

21+ Wild Turkeys were seen throughout the Cove. Several more Turkeys and a 
Red-Shouldered Hawk were seen along US-321.
