We were fortunate to arrive at Smoky Road today while Jared Fisher was still keeping track of the SEDGE WREN he found (thanks, Jared!). This obliging bird chipped and sang and showed itself.

We were there generally later than he was but had a similar checklist (also with some photos): http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S10564292

We missed some of his birds but saw and heard two SCARLET TANAGERS, a BLUE GROSBEAK, and a BLUE-WINGED WARBLER.

We birded ACLT yesterday (in high winds) and didn't see as many migrants as Jared found today, but we probably spent more time in the bottomland, where we heard and saw three LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSHES and our FOY ACADIAN FLYCATCHER.
