I encountered a decent flock of warblers near the Elizabethton Recycling Center on the Watauga River in Carter County this morning (Sept. 3) about 10 a.m. The flock included: Yellow Warbler (1) Blackburnian Warbler (1) Magnolia Warbler (1) American Redstart (2) In addition: Empid Sp. (2) Field Sparrow (8) Eastern Towhee (1) Gray Catbird (1) Chimney Swift (1) Carolina Chickadee (3) This is really the first decent mixed-species flock I have seen this fall. I also got a good look at a Red-Spotted Purple Butterfly.
