North Boundary Trail Roane County

On the way to work this morning I checked out one of my favorite local
birding spots on the North Boundary Trail a couple of miles west of Oak
Ridge on the right side (north) of Hwy 58 South before it gets to Hwy 95.
In just a short walk to the second bridge I had five warbler species with
most of the action at the first bridge and the power line cut.  Getting out
of the car I heard a Common Yellowthroat across the highway.  A pair of
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers are building a nest in a dead or not yet leafed-out
tree above the first bridge.  A Northern Parula and Yellow-throated Warbler
were signing above the creek.  At the power line cut there were two
Blue-winged Warblers and a Prairie Warbler singing.  Hard working beavers
have built a fine dam just upstream of the second bridge.  It is worth the
short walk in to just admire nature's engineers at work.

Just a few minutes with these birds in a nice environment made the start of
the work day much more positive.
