Percy Warner Park
Mossy Ridge Trail from Chickering Rd
Nashville-Davidson Co. TN
30 April 2011
.
At first light today I hiked the 4.5-mile Mossy Ridge Trail at Percy Warner
Park. This trail runs through deep woods with some elevation changes. Spring
storms have had some effect on the trail with trees down making for news
openings in the forest. The downed trees proved to be busy with birds for
some reason. It is there that I got some good looks, but for the most part I
was birding by ear this morning as I kept moving. The impressive number of
both TENNESSEE WARBLERS and SWAINSON'S THRUSH kept me busy ticking off my
check list. The VEERY is a "probable". Lighting was not good and although
the bird remained still for several minutes, he was silent. But what I
observed was a bird more reddish than olive brown and with no discernible
eye ring or spotting on chest. I heard my FOY EASTERN WOOD-PEWEE and two
more as well. The YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT was making his strange sounds in the
brush along the road as I was returning to the parking lot off Chickering
Rd.
