At Carver's Gap on Roan Mtn., Carter Co., TN on Saturday 04 SEP 2004 I saw a 
Bay-breasted Warbler, first fall female.  Also Chestnut-sided, Magnolia, 
Blackburnian, Hooded, Tennessee, Black-throated Blue, and Black-throated Green 
Warblers.  All these were in a nice little mixed flock, and most of them got 
buzzed by a Ruby-throated Hummingbird at some time.  At one moment I saw at 
least six hummers simultaneously. 

At Rankin Bottoms, Sunday 05 SEP 2004, the Merlin Chuck Nicholson reported for 
Rack and I was an adult female.  She perched in a dead tree maybe one hundred 
feet away for several minutes.

I've had a great week of birding at Roan Mtn. and Rankin Bottoms trying to 
better learn fall warblers and shorebirds.  Many thanks to all those I've had 
the pleasure of birding with recently.  Special thanks to Rick Knight who 
quietly reveals the hidden bird treasures in Carver's Gap at his banding 
station; and to Michael Sledjeski and Leslie Gibbens who avidly aid so many in 
accessing and enjoying the beauties of Rankin Bottoms.
