[TN-Bird] Connecticut Warbler at Norris TN

At about 1:30 PM today (May 20), I heard a Connecticut Warbler singing near
Norris, Anderson County.  The bird was alongside US 441 about half a mile
north of the junction of 441 and TN 61 in thick brush along a roadside ditch
at the edge of a forested area and a very large mowed lawn.  I was biking
when I heard the bird and stopped and listened for it for a couple minutes
(I was glad to stop as I was climbing a short steep hill at the end of a
hard ride).  I heard it sing at least a couple dozen times before I pedaled
on.
 

I also had a couple Scarlet Tanagers and a couple Red-eyed Vireos singing
around my house today.  Neither of these birds normally nests close to the
house so I presume they are still migrating.
