Cross Mountain, Campbell County
Lola and I spent Saturday morning from about 9:00 to 11:30 on Cross Mountain
near Caryville, TN. We spent most of the time on an old coal mining bench
that is probably the most popular for birding. It is near the top and
accessed off of a sharp right hand bend of Mountain Road. There were not
large numbers of warblers but a good variety.
