Keith Watson and I birded this morning at various places in the National Park 
highlights include:

Sugarlands visitor center:

Yellow-throated Warbler
Northern Parula
Blue-headed Vireo
Blue-winged Teal,  flew over twice then look like it landed in the woods?  
Strange!
Brown Thrasher
Coopers Hawk
Black-throated Green Warbler
Wild Turkey

Clingmans Dome road,  The two small stretches that are actually in Tennessee:

Red-breasted Nuthatch
Black-capped Chickadee
Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Golden-crowned Kinglet
Lots of Winter Wrens
A very lost Eastern Meadowlark on a roadside about two miles from the top.


Still no Red Crossbills for the year but I am sure they are up there.
