Hi Folks,
sorry for the late reply, but I went out of town after birding on
Friday and didn't have a chance to get on the net in between.
On Friday, April 19 I and 2 other KTOS members did some morning
birding inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We started at
the Townsend Wye (Blount County) at 8 am and went to Schoolhouse Gap
Trail, then the sewage lagoons at Cades Cove. Finishing about 12:15
pm, we tallied 53 species.
Highlights included Harold Howell's TWENTIETH life bird in a week!
Way to go Harold. For a "beginner" he's doing very well spotting
birds and IDing by ear.
We also had several first-of-year birds: a Chestnut-sided Warbler at
the lagoons, Scarlett Tanagers at both Schoolhouse Gap Trail and the
lagoons, and Eastern Kingbird at Cades Cove.
Solitary Sandpiper, 4 Jake Turkeys and 4 pairs of Wood Ducks at the
lagoons were nice to watch.
We had 11 warbler species - almost all of which were seen at both the
lagoons and the trail.
Good day!
Charlie
