[Brkr406@xxxxxx]

Sorry I'm late posting BUT I saw a yellow billed cuckoo, indigo bunting, 
yellow breasted chat,  red bellied woodpecker, prairie warbler, tufted 
titmouse, 
Carolina chickadee,  wild turkey, deer, and several others on the Sinking Creek 
trail at Warriors Path last Thursday, June 23.  The Sinking Creek trail is 
very nice but sparsely used trail offering several different habitats with lots 
of "edges". I didn't even know it existed or that the park extended into this 
area until last year.  I have, however, always seen something of interest at 
any time that I hiked all three loops.  The yellow billed cuckoo was a life 
bird for me!!!  He stayed in the same area for 10+ minutes giving me a close 
view 
and looks from all angles.  The cuckoo was at the very end of the third loop 
(near the marshy area where the creek enters the cave). If you are not 
familiar with the trail and would like further info or directions, drop me an 
e-mail 
or give me a call (423-323-9307) and I'll provide directions on how to get 
there.  I might even walk with you and show you where I've spotted the various 
birds if you're interested (and my legs are cooperating).  Happy trails and 
birding!
At your service,
Mitch
