Birds and Wildflowers Walk

Another walk we took with the Wildflower Pilgrimage was for birds and wildflowers.  It was a bitterly cold morning, and we drove to one of the higher points in Great Smokey Mountains National Park, hoping to find birds from a specific elevation.  Not much was out.  Too cold!  Here are the birds we did see, though:

Ovenbird
Red-breasted nuthatch
Blue-headed vireo
Dark-eyed junco

Blue-Headed Vireo

Wildflowers that we saw on this walk included:

Grandiflorum trillium

Sweet white trillium

Trout Lilly

Fringed phaecelia

Halbard leaf violet

Princess pine

Rattlesnake plantain

Galyx
