Sorry for the delay in posting this. The morning started out slow but it
turned into a decent outing.
I saw two Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers with excellent looks at one that was low
in some trees next to the trail.
Yellow-Rumped Warblers were numerous in the trees along the Harpeth River,
along with a small flock (8-10) of Cedar Waxwings. There was a Palm
Warbler feeding with some of the Yellow-Rumps.
At the top of the ridge, I saw and heard a Northern Parula. It seemed to be
moving through the area heading further north.
I saw three Pileated Woodpeckers, one of which looked like it might be
nesting in a dead tree near the river. It flew to the tree and entered a
previously excavated cavity.
Other birds of note were a Hermit Thrush, 4-5 Brown-Headed Cowbirds, and a
pair of Tree Swallows that appear to be nesting in one of the bluebird
boxes in the field near the parking area.
