HELLO! I'm a Tennessee Birder who enjoys "surfing the net" looking for information relating to my favorite pastime. (When I'm not birding, of course!) So I've included some links to the places I've found. I'm sure I've only hit the tip of the iceberg, but it's a start. Before you start surfing though, try my little quiz below.

My favorite family is the Parulidae, more commonly known as Wood Warblers, or just Warblers. These colorful songbirds fill the woods with the sound of their beautiful voices. Below is a list of some of the Warblers which breed in or migrate through Tennesse on a regular basis. Just match the Species name with the correct song phrase. See how many you can get right. The answers are given below.
