A yellow-throated warbler was found on March 15 in Blount County along the 
Maryville-Alcoa Greenway.  A good place to look for them in Anderson County is 
the Songbird Trail below Norris Dam.  Northern Parulas nest there every summer 
too.  Louisiana Waterthrushes nest along Clear Creek past the Grist Mill.
