I apologize for this late report (sightings from Tuesday in the Craig Cove 
area of Lyons Bend, Knoxville, Knox Co.).  Numbers of warblers were some of 
the best I've had this season with about 15 Blackpoll Warblers (6 in one 
tree!), 4 singing Canada and Magnolias, plus redstarts and yellow warblers.  
Great morning for warblers, but best birds were Warbling Vireo (seen and 
heard) and Philadelphia Vireo (seen and heard).  The heard didn't help much 
with the Philadelphia, but got good look at it.
