Gosh, head east to the mountains of Anderson, Scott, and Morgan Counties if you
want to see and hear all the Hoodeds you ever wanted (along with Black Throated
Greens, Ceruleans, and Ovenbirds) -- Frozen Head State Park is an easy place to
start, and Nell Moore's stomping grounds up by Cove Lake are probably even
better. Here in the next 3-4 weeks will be prime time.
