Ashley - are those Baltimore orioles nesting? I live just up the hill in
Harpeth Trace and would love more precise location for that tree where
you've seen them.
Please email me - grahamgerdeman@xxxxxxxxx
Thanks!

Hello all,
I bird Warner Parks/Vaughns Gap Road daily (West Nashville/Davidson Cty in
Middle Tenn), at different times of day for two to three hours, and this
evening as the sun was beginning to set, just before roosting time, proved
to be especially hopping, many birds in male/female pairs.
While common, I believe, to the parks, there were larger numbers tonight -
and more active and vocal - of all species compared to other times of day,
by my observation.
All birds were observed within 1.5 miles of the Hwy 100 entrance. In no
particular order:
Summer Tanager
Great Horned Owl (calling, not seen)
Eastern Bluebird(s)
Ruby Throated Hummingbird(s)
Brown Thrasher(s) (only on Vaughns Gap Rd, in woods by creek)
Barred Owl
Great Crested Flycatcher(s)
Acadian Flycatcher (heard)
Blue gray Gnatcatcher
Cardinal(s) (numerous pairs)
Indigo Bunting
Baltimore Oriole(s) (in same oak tree as Bunting and Summer Tanager)
Blue Jay(s)
Carolina Wren(s)
Kentucky Warbler (only heard - did not ID by sight)
Prothonatary Warbler (only heard - did not ID by sight)
Other Warblers - possible Common Yellowthroat(s) way high up & flying so
could not ID enough to verify
Waterthrush in creek (getting too dark at this point to ID species)
Wild Turkey(s)
Black Vulture(s)
American Robin(s)
Carolina Chickadee(s)
Pileated Woodpecker(s)
White-breasted Nuthatch
House and Gold Finch(es)
Field Sparrow(s) in field ("needs mowed," but wish the park wouldn't)
Eastern Towhee (singing, only got glimpse)
Northern Mockingbird(s)
The best part, is that I walk to the park from home and a male and female
bluebird pair "followed" me over traffic, across Hwy 100 (the beautiful
male even stopped at the stop sign) and up to 50 feet from my doorstep. No
mealworms here, but very buggy!
Peace,
