Carver's Gap Roan Mountain, TN 19 JUL 03 This afternoon my family was treated to long sought after eyeful of a Red Crossbill. The bird was resting on evergreen limb on the roadside across from the gravel parking area at Carver's Gap. This marked a life bird for all of us. We also ID'd Chestnut-sided Warbler, Pine Siskin, Canada Warbler and Re-breasted Nuthatch among others. Don Holt and company arrived just missing the Crossbill while on butterfly count duty. Earlier in the day we enjoyed great looks at a male American Redstart and Yellow Warbler in Hampton Cove Creek.
