I have never been out to Sharp's Ridge, so I decided to head out there this
afternoon to look for warblers. It was a lovely afternoon and we found 3
species of warblers including Northern Parula, Black-and-White, and
Blackpoll. The complete list is below.
Sharp's Ridge, Knox, Tennessee, US
May 3, 2017 2:53 PM - 4:50 PM
Protocol: Traveling
1.0 mile(s)
Comments: Stopped at the overlook and then parked in the gravel area by
the wooden shed and fire tower and walked to the parking area just passed
the gazebo with picnic table and back. Drove down to the cul-de-sac before
leaving. Sunny and 80 degrees. Very light breeze.
14 species (+1 other taxa)
Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura) 1

Looked pretty big, probably a Coopers. Happened so quick, I forgot to look
at the head to wing position.
