On May 29, Tom Horsch, Chris O'Bryan and Wallace
Coffey birded and hunted herptiles in Shady Valley
and Holston Mountain, Johnson Co., TN.
A Least Flycatcher was seen and heard at Orchard
Bog in Shady. This is a rare summer resident. It is
the first report of the species there in eight years.
The Least Flycatcher was last recorded there
22 May 1994 by John Shumate.
Ganier and Tyler reported it as "fairly common,
chiefly in the woodlands along the Creek" 5-8 Jun 1934.
On Holston Mountain, at about 3,500-3,600 feet elevation,
we had a Blackburnian Warbler, the rarest warbler regularly
nesting in Tennessee. The bird was at McQueen Gap.
Ed & Michelle Talbott's report of a Blackburnian near
Low Gap along the Appalachian Trail on Holston Mountain
at about 3800 feet, Saturday Jun 1, is a special note. It
is the first modern-day record of one in that area of the
mountain. They also had this year's first summer record
of the Osprey at South Holston Lake in Sullivan Co., TN.
