Walter S. Davis Blvd Marsh
Nashville, Davidson Co., TN

On the way to work I again stopped by the Walter S. Davis Blvd Marsh
next to the TSU campus in Nashville. Hoping to eventually find an
AMERICAN BITTERN there for the fourth fall in a row, but there was
no sign of one there today. Water level in the lake continues
to drop with some of the channels dried up, but in one of the close
water channels two heads in the water caught my eye. I soon saw the
full bodies of 2 OTTERs as they wandered back and forth in the little
water channel. I've seen a BEAVER swimming in the lake but this is
my first OTTER sighting. While watching the otters, I was distracted by
non-KILLDEER shorebirds. Like yesterday, I found PECTORAL SANDPIPERs
feeding in the mud. This morning there were 5 of them. Also present
were numerous MALLARDs, N. SHOVELERS, GREEN-WINGED TEAL, and a single
AMERICAN WIGEON. Plenty of SWAMP SPARROWs moving around in the weeds.
