[TN-Bird] Swainson's Warbler

Schoolhouse Gap Trail
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Blount County 
4/25/06

Hi folks,

Today I led a group of 7th graders from Knoxville on a trip to Cades
Cove.  Along the way we stopped at Schoolhouse Gap Trail and found a
couple of Swainson's Warblers.

Also seen or heard along the trail:
Yellow-throated Warbler
Black-and-white Warbler
Worm-eating Warbler
Black-throated-Green Warbler
Northern Parula
Hooded Warbler
Louisiana Waterthrush

Blue-headed Vireo
Red-eyed Vireo

Not bad for less than a mile of trail at 10 am!

Highlights at Cades Cove included:
Turkeys in 3 different places
Yellow-throated Vireo
Chipping Sparrows carrying nesting material
Loads of Swamp Darners (a very large dragonfly)
