I was at Percy Warner park in Nashville Friday morning more or less giving my fiance a tour and not actually birding and we stopped at a high spot with a view of downtown Nashville where I found one singing Cerulean Warbler. This was apparently a good spot for Ceruleans in the past (as per conversation with a bunch of folks), however they hadn't been seen in several years (as per conversation with Sandy Bivens of Warner Park). I saw the bird moving around a lot at the top of the trees, but never got a good look. Then he sang and sang for about 5 min or so. We didn't find any Ceruleans at that spot on 16 May when I had a group there, but at least one is around. Cheers, Scott Somershoe State Ornithologist Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency P.O.
