Some of these dates seem a bit off for the Knoxville region as a whole but
may reflect limited breeding areas in Anderson Co for some species if the
eBird search was only conducted for that county.
First to return will be the local breeders but they will usually go
directly to the breeding grounds.
Louisiana Waterthrush are the first to arrive not long behind the Purple
Martins and Tree Swallows in late Feb - early March.
Blue-headed Vireos show up by mid-March. Yellow-throated, Parula,
Black-throated Green, and Black-and-white Warblers are next in late March.
Some of those should start showing up this week in breeding areas (for
example, BT Greens at Big South Fork and GSMNP) if not already there.
By mid-April, most of the other local breeders like Hooded, Redstart,
Ovenbird, Worm-eating, Prothonotary, etc should be around.
Most of the far-northern breeders pass through in late April to early May
with Blackpoll and then Mourning and Connecticut being some of the last to
pass through.
