[TN-Bird] Sharps Ridge much better

Things started slowly but picked up as the morning warmed up.
29 species of neotropical migrants which included 18 species of warblers and 4 
species of vireos were seen and or heard on Sharps Ridge this morning by folks 
involved in the KTOS walk.  We got pretty spread out over the ridge, but I 
think this tally includes most of the species observed.  I counted at least 23 
birders including folks from Texas and New Jersey  that found Sharps Ridge by 
the bird finding info on the TOS website!

My FOS birds of the day: catbird, chestnut-sided warbler, Nashville warbler, 
black-throated blue warbler, and cerulean warbler.  Baybreasted was seen by 
another group!
