Birded Holston Mountain with Ron Carrico today. We hiked out the fire /
logging road just above Dogwood Bench (Dogwood Bench is the really steep
curve going up Holston Mountain - the Forest Service road we hiked is the
next one up on the right. We call it Chick Road) on US 421 - about a 5-mile
round trip. Highlight birds include good looks at 4 Rose-breasted Grosbeaks,
Red-breasted Nuthatch, an Indigo Bunting (finally a good look) and 12
species of warblers. We also stopped by Musick's Campground, the TWRA boat
