Another good morning on the ridge and finally feeling like fall with
temperatures in the 40s.  I had a shorter amount of time to spend
this morning but still managed some nice birds including 8 warbler
species in a very active wave of activity from about 07:20 to 07:45.

Some highlights, all from the yard on Black Oak Ridge in west Knox Co
on Tues, 29 Sept (except for the two at the end):

- Ruby-throated Hummingbird, 3+, still in good numbers

- Gray-cheeked Thrush, 1 spent most of the morning in the pokeberry
bush giving great looks

- Golden-winged Warbler, 1 female for 3rd consecutive day
- Tennessee, 2+
- N Parula, 1 adult male
- Blackburnian, 1
- Chestnut-sided, 2
- Magnolia, 6+
- Am Redstart, 4+
- BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER, 1, my first of fall, soon the
yellow-rumpeds will show up then it's all downhill from there

- Summer Tanager, 1-2

- Rose-breasted Grosbeak, 2+

- BOBOLINK, at least 1 IDed by nocturnal flight call just before
midnight on Mon (9/28) during a modest flight with a few thrushes
and unIDable warbler-like chips

... which reminds me of one I haven't remembered to report yet

- DICKCISSEL, 1 at dawn on 9/24 giving 2 of their very distinctive
flight calls as it passed by.
