Today a friend and I hiked up to Mt. Cammerer (GSMNP) starting from the Cosby
campground area. I didn't have my binos with me but I managed to ID a few
birds. The views up there are the best I've seen in the park but the lookout
tower was a little crowded today. The lower end had some tall beautiful Hemlock
and Poplar trees and probably the biggest Sugar Maple I've ever seen.

There were numerous birds flying around above the lookout tower area but I
couldn't make out what they were. Some may have been Chimney Swifts.
