Sunday morning in the backyard (west Knox Co, 5 Sept) was much less active than 
Sat. In fact I only had a single warbler, an Am Redstart.  Did have 2 Baltimore 
Orioles and 2 Yellow-billed Cuckoos though.  
On Saturday, I chose the Vols over birding so Amber and I ran up to Rankin 
Bottoms (Cocke Co) on Sunday evening. Similar list as yesterday but a few 
changes.  There was a group of goose hunters staked out across from the road. 
They didn't have any geese but had a flock of Buff-breasted SPs and Am 
Golden-Plovers walking among their decoys.
