Ashley et al.
The data of which you speak is being archived. It all goes into THE MIGRANT,
the TOS journal. The majority goes into The Season reports, seasonal summaries
of bird observations. Some events, such as the recent winter concentration of
warblers
in Kingsport, will be written up as articles for the journal. THE MIGRANT is a
peer-reviewed journal, thus a better source of info than a list-serv which
functions
best as a news dispersal service. Much data also goes to eBird, an online
archival
source.
So, rest assured, all of these good sightings are being documented & archived.

Regarding the question about the unusual seasonal sightings: I hope this list
is being archived on print somewhere? To help document climate change for
conservation purposes and educational knowledge.Â
We have groups in the state keeping recorded track of rainfall, weather,
geology, etc. I presume our bird species posts will help data research now
and in the future. Â

Summer Tanager is actually a less surprising winter visitor than some others
reported of late, but only in the sense that a Summer Tanager shows up in
winter once every few years.

Total guess here but I am thinking that a handful of birds winter in the
Midwest every year but with the polar vortex they have been pushed down to
Tennessee and so on. Again, total speculation. Would be nice to satellite tag a
few of these birds to see where they disperse in the spring and what happens
next winter.

  I looked closer at the picture and you are right. What is going on with
some many birds being in Tennessee way out of season?

Looks like a Summer Tanager to me too. Not a Warbler with that honking beak :-)
Great find!
