[TN-Bird] Connecticut Warbler and others

During a birding refresher course on Tuesday, Tommy Edwards located a =
Connecticut Warbler for us at the Stones River National Battlefield at =
Tour stop 1, in Rutherford County.  Bird was along an old road that was =
heavily shaded.  The forest was dominated by tall cedars with a mix of =
hardwoods.  Lots of understory cover, hence we never saw the bird, but it =
sang regularly.

At Cedars of Lebanon State Park, later on Tues, we refound a pair of Lark =
Sparrows working a cedar glade.  They walked around for a long while, =
providing very nice looks.

All in all the woods are very quiet, residents and neotrops alike.  =
Red-eyed Vireos are either scarce or just not singing (and with their =
singing rate regardless of heat levels, I bet they didn't stay around when =
they arrived to a brown forest).  The birds and woods seem very strange =
this year.
