Good Evening,
Led by local expert, Kevin Calhoon, Jim Eager, Gary Brunvoll  and myself 
experienced a great day of birding in Hamilton County, TN. We  began the day at 
the Cravens House @ 7:45 AM. Left there around 10:00 AM. Here  are the 10 
species of warblers and a few other birds of note:
American Redstart - 8
Blackburinian Warbler - 7
MOURINIG WARBLER - 2; one seen well the other heard only
Blackpoll Warbler - 3
Tennessee Warbler - 2
CONNECTICUT WARBLER - 1; sang several times and glimpsed only
Hooded Warbler - 1
Black-and-White Warbler - 1
Canada Warbler - 2
Worm-eating Warbler - 1
Swainson's Thrush - 6
TRAILLS FLYCATCHER - 1 ( did not call )
 
We birded Brainerd Levee twice between severe thunderstorms and observed 13  
species of shorebirds there. The habitat behind Boyd Buchanan School is the 
best  I have seen in years. Have included a few additional species of interest:
 
Semipalmated Plover - 20
