A pretty good morning at KMT.  There was a definite increase in activity
over the past two days.  The mountain was active almost all the way up.  We
arrived at the #1 marker post at 7:50AM and had already had several small
flocks with  8 species of warbler including the first Magnolia of the fall.
By 8:00AM at marker post #3 we ran in to another flock including Blue-winged
and  Canada.  At 8:20AM, between marker posts #5 -7, we had another large
flock and added several Chestnut-sided, Blackburnian, Cerulean and another 2
Canada warblers.  We reached the trail to Little Kmt, at 9:15 and between
here and the top of the mountain, there were plenty of birds.   We added
American Redstart, Yellow, Worm-eating, Ovenbird and Black-and-white as well
as 2 Blue-winged, many Chestnut-sided,  and several Blackburnians and
Ceruleans.  We headed back down the mountain at  10:15 with 13 species and
it was very quiet untill we reached the bottom and had a Pine singing.   A
total of 14 species and pretty good numbers for late August.
later,  BZ
