Seven warbler species in the yard (west Knox Co) this morning (24 April)
which is a high count so far this year.  Best being at least one FOS
BLACKBURNIAN Warbler.  A male Hooded Warbler gave me some fits as it
was singing a wide variety of songs from at least 30ft up in a tree.
I had to see this one before I was convinced it really was a Hooded.

Earlier, while walking one of our dogs, I heard a very nasal CAW.  It
immediately registered as Fish Crow in my brain.  I looked up and saw
a crow flying over which twice more gave the nasal CAW.  Wing shape
and wing beat speed and flight style all looked good for Fish Crow.
Other places I probably wouldn't have even took note of this bird and
just called it a Fish Crow.  I'm about 95% certain that's what it was.
This is about 12-14 miles from Lyon's Bend area where Susan, Marcia,
and Chris have their Fish Crows (opposite end of the Knoxville CBC
circle) and about 10-12 miles from where I've had them in northern
Blount Co but very close to Solway area and Melton Hill Lake.

Some highlights from the yard the past few days:

Red-eyed Vireo, 4/22, 4/24
House Wren, 4/23 FOS, 4/24

Yellow Warbler, 4/24 FOS
"Myrtle" Yellow-rumped Warbler, several each day 4/22-4/24
Black-throated Green Warbler, 4/23 FOS finally, almost a month late,
   4/24 (2)
Blackburnian Warbelr, 4/24 FOS
Palm Warbler, 4/24
Black-and-white Warbler, 4/23, 4/24
Worm-eating Warbler, 4/22
Hooded Warbler, 4/24

Scarlet Tanager, 4/22 FOS, 4/23, 4/24
