[TN-Bird] Gray-cheeked Thrush, warblers, etc. (Greene Co., TN)

April 30, 2005

Greeneville and Tusculum, Greene County

Today brought the year's first bona fide wave of transients and summer
residents to Greene County, and I was lucky enough to have time to surf
it.  When my list dried out, I found I had recorded the following:

Green Heron;
Solitary Sandpiper (2, including one in a rain puddle inside the
Greeneville city limits--very unusual);
Chimney Swift (16);
Eastern Wood-Pewee;
Great Crested Flycatcher (3);
Tree Swallow;
House Wren (11);
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (3);
Veery;
Gray-cheeked Thrush (the first April observation I've recorded);
Wood Thrush;
Gray Catbird (3);
Brown Thrasher (2);
White-eyed Vireo (2, including one first-year bird still retaining a
dark eye);
Yellow-throated Vireo;
Red-eyed Vireo (4);
Yellow Warbler (2);
Chestnut-sided Warbler;
Cape May Warbler (2);
Palm Warbler;
Blackburnian Warbler;
American Redstart;
Common Yellowthroat (3);
Hooded Warbler (5);
Yellow-breasted Chat;
Rose-breasted Grosbeak (2);
Indigo Bunting;
Orchard Oriole (3);
Baltimore Oriole.

I also observed the following winter residents still hanging around:

Ruby-crowned Kinglet (5);
Yellow-rumped Warbler (7);
Swamp Sparrow;
White-throated Sparrow (11);
White-crowned Sparrow (3).
