26 June 2009 Johnson County, TN Shady Valley The timber cutters, near the end of Quarry Road along Beaverdam Creek, are doing a number on my favorite and excellent lower elevation micro habitat for the Canada Warbler. This site has featured a stream gorge of cool, moist, hemlock and white pine along with an understory of great rhododendron. Elevation ~ 2832. A timber worker was there with his equipment today but so was the Canada Warbler -- singing its heart away. Will its habitat be expanded with more opening or will it be overcut and fade away ? I am trying to define the dilemma. Let's go birding . . . . Wallace Coffey Bristol, TN
