Despite the weather, I spent this morning at two Metro Parks here in
Nashville (Davidson Co.). From 7:15 AM to 9:30 AM I worked the Henry
Hollow Loop at Beaman Park. From 10:00 AM to noon, I birded the main
loop at Bell's Bend Park.
For the morning, I found 79 species without really trying. I was
surprised when I tallied things up and noticed that I'd found 21 species
of warbler.
The most interesting thing (to me anyway) was an apparent Blue-winged
Warbler singing an atypical song. I heard it singing "bee-bee-buzz" and
had to track it down; I was truly expecting a hybrid, but phenotypically
it seemed to be a normal Blue-wing. I suspect, though, that it has some
Golden-wing in it somewhere.
Beaman was loaded with woodland species per usual. I cannot imagine a
better place for seeing Worm-eating Warblers and Scarlet Tanagers, among
others; I had repeated great looks at both without any special effort.
On the other hand, Bell's Band was loaded with grassland and early
successional species, although the trees along the river had a decent
number of warblers.
