This morning I was scheduled to lead a public bird hike for Bell's Bend Park
here in Nashville.  None of the registrants showed up, so I walked the outer
2.5 mile loop myself and enjoyed some nice birding and photography.  The
highlight for me was the surprising warbler species that ended up being most
numerous - NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH!  I had at least 13, which I believe is TN's
record high count for a single location.  It seemed I was rarely out of
earshot of one throughout the morning.
The other highlights were:

a singing LINCOLN'S SPARROW
a YELLOW PALM WARBLER (much rarer here than Western Palm Warbler) that I was
able to photograph
one HENSLOW'S SPARROW (habitat has grown up, but the part staff cleared a
lot of areas that should hold birds next year)
one WILLOW FLYCATCHER that was "whit" calling; it was in an area of the park
where I had not previously seen one

Full list below.
