Shelby Park and Bottoms
Nashville, Davidson Co., TN
2012 September 22
On Saturday morning a modest contingent of 5 birders
came out for the annual NTOS Fall Flock at Shelby Park
and Bottoms in Nashville. In addition to the large flock
of AMERICAN ROBINs that swarmed over Mission Hill, the
path around the hill produced an unsolicited calling
E. SCREECH OWL, and later we heard several ROSE-BREASTED
GROSBEAKs and saw two SCARLET TANAGERs. Aside from the
robins, migrants on our walk were dominated by BROWN
THRASHERs (at least 2 dozen), who seemed to be calling
everwhere we went, and GRAY CATBIRDs (at least 15 seen
and heard). Transfering our walk to Phase I of Shelby
Bottoms, we found several SWAINSON'S THRUSHes, two
INDIGO BUNTINGs, and a SUMMER TANAGER. Along the Ecology
trail we heard a chip in the weeds that might have be
a SEDGE WREN, but the bird never popped into view. Warblers
were dominated by MAGNOLIAs and AMERICAN REDSTARTs.
Those who stayed for the full walk enjoyed a YELLOW-
THROATED WARBLER along the Cornelia Fort trail in
the woods of Phase 2. In all we totalled 39 species
for the morning.
