Hi All,

Yesterday, August 8, 2004, several birders in two separate parties
independantly heard a Hermit Thrush singing a couple hundred yards
down Forney Ridge Trail from the Clingman's Dome Parking Lot.  This
is in Great Smoky Mountains National park, just over the line in
North Carolina and it is right about 6000 feet elevation.

At about 5pm David Trently, Allan Trently, Tracey Muise and Charlie
Muise heard a bird that we all agreed was HETH.  When we got back to
our cars, we found a note from Kim and Steve Henry saying that they
had heard one in that location.

This was on the return from a ranger-led hike to Andrews Bald on a
beautiful day.  

Other birds in the area were all expected there this time of year:

Black-throated Blue Warbler
Canada Warbler
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Cedar Waxwing
Common Raven
gobs and gobs of Golden-crowned Kinglets
Black-capped Chickadees
American Robin.

strangely lacking were Chimney Swifts.
