Canada Warbler -- 1 singing, 1460 feet elevation, from herbacious and young
woody growth "brushy" area adjacent to hemlocks and rhododendron, Mongle
Spring, North Fork Holston River, west of Abingdon.
Caple May Warbler -- 1 adult male in breeding plummage, 3600 feet elevation,
Hidden Valley Wildlife Management Area, Clinch Mountain, just upgrade from lake.
A curious vehicles parked near the dam at Hidden Valley Lake really caught our
eye. After our curiosity got the best of us, we investigated closely and
speculated this might be Dr. Gary Graves, with the Division of Birds at the
Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. He has been studying ecology
and evolution of wood warblers and doing extensive research conducting
long-term field studies in the Appalachian Mountains. It might not be long
before we know for sure.
Let's go birding.....
