Bells Bend Park
Davidson Co., TN
2012 April 14
On Saturday, April 14, 15 eager birders showed up for the Nashville
Chapter of TOS visit to Bells Bend Park in western Davidson County.
A group of young scouts and their parents joined us for part of
our stroll. The walk began with a SAVANNAH SPARROW perched on a
wire fence near the office building, but we missed hearing or seeing
HENSLOW'S SPARROWs. On the other hand, NORTHERN BOBWHITEs were
very vocal, and a male and female pair seen in the middle of the
path provided excellent looks. Singing PRAIRIE WARBLERs and COMMON
YELLOWTHROATs seemed to be ubiquitous, but seeing them took patience.
BLUE-WINGED and wagging PALM rounded out the warbler contingent. A
male ORCHARD ORIOLE graced us with its song and some brief views.
Near the Cumberland River we found an OSPREY, EASTERN KINGBIRDs,
a flyby FORESTER'S TERN, and a DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT that showed
off it double crests. We finished the morning with 58 species.
A complete list of the specied found will be posted on the NTOS
web site's field trip blog page.
