Murfree Spring Wetland
9/6/12
Rutherford County
With the various reports of Empids coming from Murfree Spring lately, I was
excited to check it out for myself. Alas, I didn't see any unusual flycatchers,
but the warblers are starting to trickle in, including a very bland-looking
Hooded Warbler that had me confused for a little while. (Thanks to Terry Witt
for ID help on that one.) Complete list below.

white on the sides.
