[TN-Bird] Norris Dam Songbird Trail Saturday 9/22

Got a really late start - even for me - Saturday on the Norris Dam Songbird 
Trail in Anderson County, Tenn.   Almost 2 p.m.  After walking 10-15 minutes I 
was beginning to think I would have only 2 species to report - Goldfinches and 
Bluejays.  An enticing look at a sparrow perched overhead but couldn't ID it 
from pink legs, white butt. About what I deserved at mid-day on a hot 
afternoon.  Things picked up considerably, however and I ended up seeing:
 
4 Magnolia Warblers total (in 3 different locations; one was an adult with the 
black streaked sides and the others weren't)
 
at least 2 Swainson's Thrushes and a Gray Catbird going after the poke berries 
high in a tree
 
A Blue-headed Vireo
 
a drab unmarked greenish warbler (maybe a Tennessee) that only gave me one 
brief look.  It was low in the shrubs with two of the Magnolias
 
Eastern Wood Pewee
 
2 Eastern Phoebes
 
22 species in all
