Hi folks, It seems the migrants more or less finished coming through Tremont (Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Blount County, TN) last week, after a wonderful 2 weeks of grosbeaks, tanagers, thrushes and catbirds for all to see. This morning I saw my first low-elevation Dark-eyed Junco of the year, right by the Councilhouse (a wooden campfire circle) at Tremont. This is a bit later than the 6-year average. Golden-crowned Kinglets showed up much earlier than their average. charlie ******************************************************************* Charlie Muise, Naturalist near Great Smoky Mountains National Park "To the dull mind all nature is leaden.
