Yesterday's frontal passage apparently brought with it the long sought after 
thrushes. I had 15 Swainson's and 2 Gray-cheeked in a short walk on Grassy 
Branch Road near the gap, here in Pittman Center. At a friends house near 
there, I found yet another GWWA, Bay-breasted, Cape May, N. Parula, Am. 
Redstart, Black-throated Green, and Tennessee warblers, 20+ Scarlet Tanagers, 5 
Summer Tanager (3 adult males). 

Closer to home at the foot of the ridge, Tennessee, Blackburnian, 
Chestnut-sided, Am. Redstart warblers, White-eyed Vireo, Rose-breasted 
Grosbeak. Great day of birding locally. 

I surpassed my personal goal of getting 180 species in Sevier County this year, 
am now at 181, and aiming higher!
