4-22-08 Ellington Ag Center Davidson Co. 7:30-11:00 This morning I covered almost all of Ellington Ag Center and had a fine birding day. The best bird of the day was a Swainson's Warbler near the cemetery. Although they have nested at Ashland City Marsh in Cheatham Co., just west of Nashville, they are rarely seen in Davidson Co. There was also a pair of Blue Grosbeaks, one of them swishing its tail from side to side like we observed at Shelby Park on Saturday. turkey vulture - chased by Cooper's hawk Cooper's Hawk red-tailed hawk chimney swift belted kingfisher great crested flycatcher white-eyed vireo blue-headed vireo red-eyed vireo barn swallow house wren ruby-crowned kinglet blue-gray gnatcatcher Swainson's thrush - singing outside my window at home this morning at 7:00 blue-winged warbler yellow warbler chestnut-sided warbler yellow-rumped warbler palm warbler Swainson's warbler common yellowthroat hooded warbler summer tanager scarlet tanager chipping sparrow field sparrow white-throated sparrow rose-breasted grosbeak blue grosbeak indigo bunting red-winged blackbird Jan Shaw Nashville, TN **************Need a new ride?
