This morning Jean Alexander and I birded the Maryville College Woods from 7-9:30 and had 47 species. Some highlights were Black-throated blue, Blackburnian, Blackpoll and Cerulean warblers, Black-billed and Yellow-billed cuckoos, loads of Rose-breasted grosbeaks and Scarlet tanagers, AND a wave of Northern Orioles. We had 14 in one group of trees, another of 16-18 feeding in the flowering Tulip poplars and at least 8 others singing at other locations in the Woods. Not bad for a place Jean said she had never seen an Oriole!
