April 12, 2008 Bon Aqua Woods SNA, Hickman Co. and Natchez Trace Parkway, Maury Co and Williamson Co. NTOS and friends explored the Bon Aqua Woods SNA and a portion of the Natchez Trace Parkway this beautiful day-after-a-huge-storm.We were delighted to have John Noel show us the Bon Aqua Woods, a 35 acre old growth forest that was saved recently from being cut down. Magnificent trees that are several hundred years old were alive with birds, and the several stops along the Natchez Trace were equally rewarding. We tallied 53 species including Eastern Phoebes 1 White-eyed Vireo 1 Yello-throated Vireo a possible Blue-headed Vireo Tree Swallow Barn Swallow Ruby-crowned Kinglet Wood Thrush SINGING 1 Blue-winged Warbler 10 Northern Parula 12 Yellow-rumped Warblers 1 Black-throated Green Warbler 2 Yellow-throated Warblers a possible Pine Warbler 1 Prairie Warbler 1 Palm Warbler 2 Louisiana Waterthrush Many Towhees 5 Chipping Sparrows 2 Indigo Buntings Susan Hollyday Nashville TN =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
