Elizabethton Walkway, Carter Co., TN

The morning started slowly but I intercepted a nice mixed-species flock in the 
small patch of low woods just down from the Riverside Pavilion on the way back. 
In the flock was a Blackpoll Warbler, just the second I've seen in the fall in 
TN, that provided great looks at close range for a couple of minutes. 

selected list:

Yellow-throated Vireo (2)
Philadelphia Vireo (1)
Red-eyed Vireo (1)
Gray-cheeked Thrush (1)
Swainson's Thrush (1)
Tennessee Warbler (1)
American Redstart (6)
Cape May Warbler (1)
Northern Parula (4)
Magnolia Warbler (3)
Bay-breasted Warbler (1)
Blackburnian Warbler (2)
Chestnut-sided Warbler (1)
BLACKPOLL WARBLER (1) - white under-tail coverts, very slight greenish cast to 
yellow breast and flanks, slight breast/flank streaking and prominent streaking 
on olive upperparts, 
                                            yellow feet and legs, a large 
slim-appearing warbler with deliberate foraging behavior
Black-throated Green Warbler (1)
