8-9:30 am North Boundary Trail Lower East Fork Poplar Creek section Oak Ridge Reservation Sunday, I walked 1 1/2 miles on North Boundary Trail and found many of the usual resident migrants singing on territory. Wood Thrush, YELLOW-THROATED VIREO, BLUE-WINGED WARBLER, NORTHERN PARULA, YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER, PRAIRIE WARBLER, KENTUCKY WARBLER, HOODED WARBLER, YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT, and SCARLET TANAGER were present and accounted for. A few usual species were absent but are PERHAPS LATE: Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Acadian Flycatcher, Great Crested Flycatcher. Others seemed to still be in LOW NUMBERS, BUT MANY MAY HAVE YET TO ARRIVE: Wood Thrush, Yellow-breasted Chat, Yellow-throated Warbler Still others seem to me in UNUSUALLY HIGH numbers: Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Red-eyed Vireo, Northern Parula.
