Tuesday evening Sep. 23, I looked out my Bellevue front door to check
the feeder for birds and deer (unfortunately the deer come up the bluff
and clean out the bird seed in the feeder as a appetizer). To my
surprise in addition to the usual species, I found a WHITE-CROWNED
SPARROW looking for seeds on the ground. This is 4 days earlier
than the earliest record noted in "Birds of the Nashville Area"
Fourth Edition.
This morning, Wednesday Sep. 24, I stopped at the Walter S. Davis Blvd
marsh. The major lack of rain has resulted in its lake drying up
substantially and wet mud appearing where the lake usually is.
Unfortunately, it is too late to attract most shore birds but I did
find a single AMERICAN PIPIT searching the mud for food along with the
usual KILLDEER.
