Pickett Co Byrdstown,TN !0-22-08 Sorry for the late entry. On 10-20-08 while looking through my glass enclosed den, I saw a small bird at the bird bath, located on a rock arrangement on the ground. It was walking around the edge of the bath. I was not really not concentrating but I was suddenly jarred by a really bold white unbroken eye ring on a gray head and a yellowish belly. I still couldn't believe what I was seeing and ran for the bird book. When I got back it was walking around on the ground pecking around, then suddenly flew into a lilac bush and disappeared. In a lifetime of birding, suddenly I had a "Connecticut Warbler", come to me and say, "OK, here I am". A LIFE BIRD FOR ME !! I know this one is fairly common to others on migration, but for some reason it had eluded me.
