July 28, 2008 Regional summer resident warblers are moving off the breeding grounds and through lower elevations in Greene County. Last Tuesday, July 22, I observed a Northern Parula and an American Redstart feeding in a woodlot here in Greeneville. This morning, also in Greeneville, I found a mixed species grouping that included a Northern Parula, at least one Cerulean Warbler, and a Black-and-white Warbler. Cerulean Warblers are very early migrants. The chances of finding them in fall migation in our area are better from now until Labor Day than they are at any other time. Of course, the chances of finding them at all are slim. Today is only the third time that I have found fall migrant Cerulean Warblers in northeast Tennessee in the last fifteen years.
