I met Phillip Casteel this morning at Shelby Bottoms and we found the Swainson's Warbler singing at the same spot where it was discovered on Saturday May 7 on the Nashville Area spring count. It was quite tape-responsive, and we had excellent views of the bird singing in the open! No other significant birds were recorded in that area. On the way home, I stopped off at Florence Road, Rutherford County, for another try at the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher - nada. But at the spot where the flycatchers nested last year, the Loggerheaded Shrike was again seen perched on the wire. They must have a nest in the area. I made another try for the Connecticut Warbler at Oaklands Mansion at mid-day with no response. I will give it another shot in the morning.
