Jean Alexander, Gail and Steve Clendenen, and I birded the Maryville  College 
Woods trails (Blount County) this morning between 7:15 -  9:15AM.  The 
weather was breezy and damp, with occasional showers.   Bird calls and 
sightings 
were sporadic but we did encounter a couple of small  warbler waves and other 
activity.  Notable sightings were:
 
Yellow-bellied flycatcher - sitting cooperatively in  the open for nearly 5 
minutes so we could get into the right light to see  all the fieldmarks.
Warblers
Cape May - both seen and heard
Canada - both seen and heard
Chestnut-sided
Blackpoll
Magnolia - both seen and heard
Am. redstart
Black-throated blue - heard
Yellow-breasted chat - both seen and heard
 
Wood and Swainson's thrush
Great-crested flycatcher
Red-eyed and Yellow-throated vireo
Rose-breasted grosbeak
Pileated, Red-bellied and Downy woodpeckers
 
and the other species commonly found there.  The more we bird the  Maryville 
College Woods, the more we discover about this great birding area in  
Maryville.
 
Yesterday, Jean or I also had Mourning warbler, Northern waterthrush,  
Bay-breasted, Black-throated green, Canada, Magnolia, Hooded, Am. redstart,  
Eastern 
wood peewee and a non-calling Least flycatcher.
