20 May 2013 Carter Co., TN Roan Mountain Cathy Myers and I birded the Roan Mountain area this morning. Just before daylight we had a Northern Saw-whet Owl calling in the parking lot at Carver's Gap. The bird was calling repeatedly from the edge of the lot with the marked parking spaces. We also had a single Alder Flycatcher calling from the thicket next to the lot. Following directions from Nora Schubert, we found a Black-billed Cuckoo at Hampton Creek Cove. The bird made a brief appearance and then disappeared back into the forest. In the 1.5 hours that we waited on it, it never vocalized. Thomas S.
