Rhonda and I went out of state Saturday. A 13 mile hike in the northern
portions of the Smokies (snake den trail to the Appalachia and back on
low gap trail) allowed me to see my first June birds of several species.
I had no idea that the Juncos and Black-throated Blues would be so
abundant. My National Geographic ID book shows a better version of the
Black-throated Blue (less defined line between the black and the blue)
for that region than does the Sibley's. We also had large numbers of
Winter Wrens, Golden-crowned Kinglets, and Blue-headed Vireos. The only
late birds were a single female Connecticut Warbler, and a Least
Flycatcher; or are they supposed to be there? Other birds, but not all,
were: Magnolia, and Canada Warblers, Veery but no Wood Thrush, and
Rose-breasted Grosbeak (heard only).
