Roan Mtn., on the TN-NC border, has been producing some interesting
birds lately, as follows:
Lincoln's Sparrow - 1 banded on Sep. 1 - this is record early in Tenn
by a full week (how 'bout early date in NC, Russ).
Yellow-rumped Warbler - 1 observed on Sep 2 is considerably earlier
than usual, although there is a single breeding record from this site.
Selasphorus hummer - a female / immature seen on Sep 2; rather unusual
in that there are no feeders within 2 miles, but many flowers present.
Hermit Thrush - a juv. banded on Aug. 29 was undoubtedly a locally
raised bird.
Other migrants seen recently there include Tenn., Cape May, Magnolia, &
Blackburnian warblers, Swainson's Thrush. Red Crossbills & Pine
Siskins being seen daily as I operate a banding station there.
