I birded 2 miles of the North Boundary Trail Greenway on Oak Ridge DOE
Reservation for an hour and a half this morning.  Portion adjacent to
Bear Creek and East Fork Poplar Creek (Roane County).
Many migrants showing up in good numbers--most of them it appears are
setting up territories.  Some "mid-April" types still not here yet.
10 Warbler species/3 Vireos   Here's my list with approximate numbers:

NEOTROPICAL MIGRANTS:
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher  ~ 50 (always at least 2 within earshot)
Wood Thrush  4 (first of year for here)
Red-eyed Vireo 20
White-eyed Vireo ~35 (hard to count them all)
YELLOW-THROATED VIREO  2 (first of year for here)
BLUE-WINGED WARBLER  4 (Good looks at one--not a hybrid)
    (first of year)
Northern Parula  20
CERULEAN WARBLER 1 (first of year)
Yellow-throated Warbler 10 (good looks at one)
    (These I assume are all "Sycamore variety" given the habitat)
PRAIRIE WARBLER 6
Pine Warbler 1
KENTUCKY WARBLER 6 (great looks at one)
HOODED WARBLER 15 (first of year for me here)
Common Yellowthroat 5 (first of year for here)

NOT here at this site, BUT EXPECTED any day:
Acadian Flycatcher
Great Crested Flycatcher
East. Wood-Pewee
Prothonotary Warbler
Black-and-white Warbler
Worm-eating Warbler
Ovenbird
Yellow-breasted Chat
Scarlet Tanager
Indigo Bunting

SO, I get home, and there in the yard are:
One male Indigo Bunting at the feeder
First BLACKPOLL WARBLER (Early)
Black and White Warbler
