east Tenn, Knoxville (end of Ludlow Ave off Broadway, south of I-640)

I made another trip to Sharps Ridge this morning to see how migration was 
going there today. It was fairly quiet, with a couple small groups of 
migrating songbirds.
For the first time I saw all four of the resident WILD TURKEYs together in one 
group (near the first picnic area as you drive up the ridge). Birders have 
been seeing pairs in various places higher up the road since spring.

highlights:

1 White-eyed Vireo
1 Scarlet Tanager
1 or 2 Blue-winged Warblers (saw 2, but may have been the same bird)
4 Chestnut-sided Warblers
3 Blackburnian Warblers
2 Magnolia Warblers
1 American Redstart

and a brief look at what may have been a female Cerulean Warbler.
