Regarding the question about the unusual seasonal sightings: I hope this
list is being archived on print somewhere? To help document climate change
for conservation purposes and educational knowledge.
We have groups in the state keeping recorded track of rainfall, weather,
geology, etc. I presume our bird species posts will help data research now
and in the future.

Summer Tanager is actually a less surprising winter visitor than some
others reported of late, but only in the sense that a Summer Tanager shows
up in winter once every few years.

Total guess here but I am thinking that a handful of birds winter in the
Midwest every year but with the polar vortex they have been pushed down to
Tennessee and so on. Again, total speculation. Would be nice to satellite
tag a few of these birds to see where they disperse in the spring and what
happens next winter.

I looked closer at the picture and you are right. What is going on
with some many birds being in Tennessee way out of season?

Looks like a Summer Tanager to me too. Not a Warbler with that honking
beak :-)
Great find!
