At Carver's Gap and the Rhododendron Gardens before the butterfly count 
Saturday the birds were fairly active.  My parents and I observed many of the 
usual suspects, including:
   
  Carver?s Gap (Carter Co, TN) 7/21/07 
  Red crossbill (male, flying over the gap and up toward the gardens)
  Pine siskin (15-20)
  Alder flycatcher (4)
  Canada warbler
  Chestnut-sided warbler
  Red-breasted nuthatch (5+)
  Cedar waxwing (3)
  Golden-crowned kinglet (several)
  Common raven (3)
  Indigo bunting (several)
  Ruby-throated hummingbirds (4, Hummingbird Hill)
  Northern bobwhite
  Chimney swift (4)
  Barn swallow (8)
  Veery (3)
   
  Thanks to Don Holt for an interesting and educational day.
