While hiking and photographing in Cade's Cove today, (Great Smoky Mt.s NP) highlights were my first Spring YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER singing along the Bote Mt. Trail entrance. In the fields that have been recently burned over I had (2) Vesper Sparrows and much to my surprise (2) HORNED LARKS calling and displaying mating behaviour in the field along Hyatt Lane area. I watched them quite awhile. Several Louisiana Waterthrush were heard along Little RIver road, as well as 3 BLACK THROATED GREEN WARBLERS, near the back of the campground, picnic area. Later in the afternoon on Brush Hollow Rd near Townsend I had my first Spring BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER.
