Dear Tennessee birders,
I visited Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge with my wife and daughter March 21-25. 
The first three nights we stayed at Cupid's Dart which sits up in the mountains 
off the connecting road between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Our fourth night 
was spent at the Mountain Shadow's Resort closer to Gatlinburg. The names of 
these cabins are included in this report. I will use the word "connector" to 
indicate the road mentioned above. PF = Pigeon Forge, G = Gatlinburg, B = both 
Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, CD = Cupid's Dart, MS = Mountain Shadows. I 
apologize for the belatedness of this report.
