Ed and I had a hard time leaving our yard today on our way to Beaver Knob for a 
morning of birding. A feeder flock here at our house at Weller Yard included 
the following warblers:
   
  Yellow-rumped
  Yellow-throated
  Cape May
  Bay-breasted
  Magnolia
  Pine
  Palm
  Tennessee
   
  We also found other birds in our yard:
   
  Carolina Wren
  Carolina Chickadee
  Tufted Titmouse
  Chimney Swift
  Pileated Woodpecker
  Kingfisher
  Crow
  Bluebird
  Scarlet Tanager
  White-eyed Vireo
  Phoebe
  Great Blue Heron
   
  When we finally made it to Beaver Knob, there was so much fog we could only 
see about 50 feet in front of us, but the birds did not seem to mind. We were 
met by hundreds of Palm Warblers; yes, I said HUNDREDS. We saw several of the 
same warbler species we had already seen in our yard, as well as the following 
warblers:
   
  Black-throated Blue
  Black-throated Green
  Chestnut-sided
  Blackburnian
  Common Yellowthroat
   
  And we also added these species at Beaver Knob:
  Blue Jay
  Mourning Dove
  Killdeer
  Flicker
  Cardinal
  Brown Thrasher
  Catbird
  Downy Woodpecker
  Wild Turkey
  Meadowlark
  Turkey Vulture
  Song Sparrow
  Chipping Sparrow
   
  Enjoy the fall,
