[TN-Bird] Edgar Evins State Park Red-eyed Vireos and others

Edgar Evins State Park
DeKalb Co. TN

Danny Shelton and I took a hike this morning along a portion of the Millennium 
Trail at Edgar Evins State Park.
Red-eyed Vireos were numerous; they often appeared at lower and mid levels 
affording some good views. In fact, often while trying to locate another 
species that had alerted us by its song, we would get our binoculars on a bird, 
only to see "yet another Red-eyed" and not necessarily the bird we were looking 
for.

Kentucky Warblers, Worm-eating warblers,  and American Redstarts were also 
numerous with the latter doing lots of singing. We got some very nice looks at 
Hooded Warblers.

We also watched both Wood Thrush and Kentucky Warblers gathering nesting 
materials.

Less numerous than in my past experience along this trail were Cerulean 
Warblers. We heard maybe 5 or 6, and got a very brief look at only 1 or 2.

Here's a list of what we encountered along the trail or at the picnic area near 
the Marina:
