Spent some time today birding in the Nashville area and had a few good
sightings. An adult breeding plumage Laughing Gull was at Fate Sanders
Marina, J Percy Priest Reservoir along with all 6 swallows. The water level
at Gallatin Steam Plant is the lowest I hae ever seen, the marsh plants are
mostly all dead and extensive shorebird areas are present, but there were
only a few there today plus one Osprey. I found a Bewick's Wren singing on
territory at the corner of Rock Springs Road and Alsup Mill Road in extreme
north Rutherford County just off US 231. This site had a breeding pair for
several years and then was abandoned 4-5 yrs ago. Glad they are back, this
species is really in trouble around here. A bit farther south on RS Road are
several pairs of Lark Sparrows in the short grass fields.
