Carvers Gap and road pullout close to Carver's Gap

I found a good number of warblers species at Carver's Gap this morning , but 
also especially at a pullout on the left hand side of the road 1.2 miles from 
Carver's Gap (headed back down to the town of Roan Mt.). In addition I saw a 
Merlin at the Gap and a Vesper Sparrow next to the parking lot.

Warblers:

American Redstart                -  1
Hooded                                -  2
Magnolia                              -  2
Tennessee                           -  7
Chestnut-sided                     -  2
Black-throated Green            -  3
Black-throated Blue              -  5
Cape May                            -  4
Blackburnian                        -  4
Yellow-throated                     -  1
Bay-breasted                       -  1

I found the largest number of species (including the Cape Mays, 
Yellow-throated, Black and White, and the Bay-Breasted) in a mixed flock at the 
pulloff down from the gap.
