Snow Bunting Peninsula
Old Hickory Dam area, Davidson Co., TN
2012 September 8
9:30-11:59 am
Low clouds with some rain
With the remnants of the front going through Davidson Co.
this Saturday morning, I headed to Snow Bunting Peninsula
not far from Old Hickory Dam and waited for the birds
to arrive. The terns were most active for much of that
time with four species seen. Up to 8 CASPIAN TERNs were
resting on the neck of the peninsula but were disturbed
every time a car came and went. As many as 12 FORSTER'S
and 9 BLACK TERNS flew about. One COMMON TERN visited
briefly. At one point 7 sandpipers set down on the
peninsula, but before I could definitely identify
them, a big truck with a huge boat trailer drove
onto the peninsula. The smaller terns left by the time
the sun began to come out toward noon. Also seen were an
adult BALD EAGLE, an OSPREY, and a RED-TAILED HAWK.
