We birded different locations on the Townsend side of the Great Smoky Mountains 
National Park and along the Foothills Parkway during the afternoon and evening 
of Sunday, 28 June 2009.  Highlights appear below.
Schoolhouse Gap trail (GSMNP):
Acadian flycatcher
Red-eyed vireo
Blue-headed vireo
Black-throated green warbler
Worm-eating warbler (life bird for both!)

Middle Prong trail (GSMNP):
Acadian flycatcher
*water too loud to hear anything else

Look Rock trail to tower (Foothills Pkwy):
Pine warbler (group foraging in trees)
Indigo bunting (pair w/young fledglings)
Scarlet tanager
*Flora note: Clumps of Indianpipe and Striped Prince's Pine/Spotted Wintergreen 
were blooming all along the trail.  Indianpipe was in abundance.

Good birding,
