[FrankRenfrow@xxxxxxx]

We just returned from a four day trip to the Red River Gorge, and had quite  
a bit of luck. A Chestnut-sided Warbler that was present near Sky  Bridge in 
May was still singing on territory, we could easily find the bird on  three 
visits to the site (6/9-6/11). There also seems to be a continuing  expansion 
of 
Swainson's Warblers with multiple individuals along the Swift  Camp and 
Parched Corn Creeks with one even singing right next to Sky Bridge Road  (near 
the 
"geological area" overlook). We also had a Swainson's  Warbler along the Middle 
Fork of the Red River less than 2 miles  south of the Wolfe Co. line (6/9 and 
6/10) along KY 11 (thus less than  2 miles from Natural Bridge SP). A pair of 
Red-breasted Nuthatches seems to  have a well-hidden nest near the Rock 
Bridge area.
