Boyd Sharp and I headed to Spring City , TN  this AM to meet Joel Keebler and 
Susan Schott for a morning of birding on the Cumberland Plateau.  Near 
Rockwood, TN, Boyd and I saw a "v" formation overhead.  We first thought it 
might be Sandhill Cranes, but after a closer inspection found it to be 
Double-crested Cormorants; about 126 birds.  Later in the morning, up on the 
Cumberland Plateau, we saw a coyote hobbling through a cleared field.  His 
right front leg had some sort of injury.

Overall, the birding was fairly slow, even though we did have good looks at 
yellow throated warbler, louisiana waterthrush, Black throated Green, and 
Black and White.  We had 55 species for the day.
