Today on Sharps Ridge in Knoxville there was another excellent sampling of migration. Lots of birders were there as well, as a VENT tour is in the area (primarily visiting the Smokies). We had in one tree a SCARLET TANAGER, BALTIMORE ORIOLE and ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK. Several of each of these were on the Ridge this morning. First report for the year of BAY-BREASTED WARBLER. a few BLACKPOLL, BLACKBURNIAN, CERULEAN, BLACK-THROATED GREEN, TENNESSEE, PALM WARBLERs. At least one YELLOW, GOLDEN-WINGED, CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLERs. EASTERN KINGBIRD (2) YELLOW-THROATED VIREO (1) SWAINSON'S THRUSH (1) I still saw or heard no cuckoos.
