I want to thank Frank for his post the other day about birding on the  
Harpeth River Greenway.  It reminded me about birding at this spot.   Even 
though I drive by all the time, I hadn't birded there since early  spring.  
It's 
also a great way to start off the day before going to the  office.
 
I went there Wed and Thurs mornings this week from 6:45 to 8:00  am. 
 
The Palm Warblers were abundant and active on Wednesday - at  least 10 of 
them along the lake edge.  This morning, Thursday, there  were only a few and 
they were less active.
 
I also saw a White-crowned Sparrow today along with Song Sparrows and, I  
think, Swamp Sparrows.  I'm gaining confidence with the warblers, but need  
to work on sparrows.
 
There were two Common Yellowthroats and several Yellow-rumped Warblers on  
both days.  Thursday morning the warblers seemed more active in the  taller 
trees near the small bridge.  I saw a couple of Tennessee Warblers,  a 
Black-throated Green, and a Bay-breasted.  I would bet there were others  
about, 
but I couldn't stay long without being even more late for work.
 
There was an Eastern Phoebe on Thursday morning calling at  the top of a 
dead tree on the other side of the lake, and Wednesday I saw a  Belted 
Kingfisher and three Great Blue Herons.
