Harpeth River Greenway
Morton Mill Road,
Davidson Co., Bellevue, TN
2014 Sep. 28
Sunday morning I walked the Harpeth River Greenway under very
heavy overcast skies. Just past the HRMM 1 mile post I checked
out a couple birds that flew into the top of a tree. In addition
to a robin there was a second bird that made me click through it
characteristics to be sure it was not one of the numerous mockingbirds
in the area. But indeed, with its whitish head, pale pinkish orange
sides and lower breast plus very long thin forked tail, it was a
SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER. I watched it for about 10 minutes as it
perched most of the time on a bare snag. I left to walk to the far
end of my walk and when I returned about 10-15 minutes later I could
not refind it.
