On Saturday, June29, 2002, I made an excursion to Clingman's Dome in hopes of 
finding an Olive-sided Flycatcher, but to no avail. I arrived shortly after 6am 
to the sound of many singing birds but no Olive-sided. The only unexpected 
birds were singing Least Flycatchers among the beach trees on the Dome Rd about 
100 yds west of the Fork Ridge trailhead which is about half way between 
Newfound Gap and the Dome. I didn't hear them on the return trip from the Dome 
at 10:30am.
Other birds included:
E Phoebe (1)
Bl-c Chickadee
Red-br Nuthatch (1)
Brown Creeper (1)
Carolina Wren (1)
Winter Wren
Golden-cr Kinglet
Veery
Am Robin
Gray Catbird
Cedar Waxwing (6)
Blue-hd Vireo (1)
Chestnut-sided Warbler  (the death of the firs has opened up much more habitat 
for them) 
Black-thr Blue W (1)
Black-thr Green W (1)
Rose-br Grosbeak (1)
Indigo Bunting
Ruf-s Towhee
Song Sp
Dark-e Junco
(no red crossbills)
Pine Siskin (10)
