I decided on the Shutes Branch Recreation Area on Old Hickory Lake in
Hermitage, TN for today's birding. A Prothonotary Warbler could be heard
singing on the heavily forested island about 200 yds. offshore as well as a
White-eyed Vireo. This island is also popular with Great Blue Herons and
Black-crowned Night Herons. Another warbler-like song that I could not
identify could be heard in the woods across the main road from the parking lot
as well as another White-eyed Vireo singing there.
A Canada Goose with a neck band bearing the number T79Y was by the edge of
the water and I was able to approach within 3 feet and get a superb photo of
this bird and its collar. I reported the number to the U.S. Bird Banding
Laboratory and hope to hear back from them soon.
All in all, seen or heard today at Shutes branch were:
Canada Goose 20- One neck-tagged T79Y
Mallard 40- Many babies
Great Blue Heron 2
Mourning Dove 4
Chimney Swift 10
Eastern Kingbird 3
White-eyed Vireo 2
American Crow 2
Barn Swallow 2
Carolina Chickadee 1
House Wren 1
American Robin 5
Northern Mockingbird 1
European Starling 3
Prothonotary Warbler 1- Singing on island
Warbler sp. 1 singing in woods across road from area
Song Sparrow 1
Northern Cardinal 1
Red-winged Blackbird 2
Common Grackle 6
American Goldfinch 3
Number of Species: 21
Tomorrow I think I'll try Summit Hospital Pond in Hermitage, TN.
Good Birding!
