[TN-Bird] Cades Cove, GSMNP- Sparks Lane migrants

Cades Cove
GSMNP
Blount County

Martha Rudolph and I encountered a flock of migrants at the intersection
of Sparks lane and Abram's Creek in Cades Cove this morning. Most of the
birds on this list were seen in the same area between 9:00 - 10:00 AM. The
Northern Waterthrush was very cooperative. We watched it for about 10
minutes at the ford bobbing and turning over leaves. Sparks Lane was closed
to auto traffic today, at least. They have been filling a large sinkhole
that appeared in the road several months ago.
