I went along Skyline Drive this morning from Loft Mountain south to
Rt. 250 at Afton. Around 7:30 AM I was at the Trayfoot overlook. Just
north of there are a number of tall snags, left from a fire of a few
years ago. On one perched an Olive-sided Flycatcher. An Eastern wood
pewee also shared the snag at times, so there must have been good fly
catching there. As Todd Day reported, flocks of gnats are a constant,
as I found them at every stop. I came across several large mixed
species flocks, and was too slow to identify a great many of the
warblers. I did get a definite identification of a Tennessee. Several
Broad-winged Hawks were perched beside the Drive. Stauffer Miller
