Heard the welcoming song of a Northern Parula today while out in the field at a river bluff along the Cumberland River, off of Dunbar Cave Road, Clarksville, Montgomery County, TN. This is a site that I have come to enjoy as I have recently been collecting vascular plants there for my Field Botany (4050) class taught by D. Estes Ph.D. I also observed a Barred Owl at this site earlier in the spring as well as a Red-tailed Hawk. Also, for those interested, I caught and observed a Eurycea lucifuga (Cave Salamander) under some tree debris. It is not unusual to find these salamanders far from cave entrances as long as they are in limestone composite soil. -- Chris J.
