[Rconnorsphoto@xxxxxxx]

May 4, 2006 Harpeth River State Park, Narrows of the Harpeth section
Cheatham Co. TN
 
Day two of TN State Parks birding training workshop for State Parks  rangers 
was conducted at sites along the Harpeth River, highlights  include:  
 
CONNECTICUT WARBLER -1- HEARD ONLY -no one volunteering to wade the weeds  
and brambles to flush it out. The habitat was suitable, thick cover of second  
growth saplings with relatively open mid-story and under-story  of grass and 
weed tangles. Song was the less twisting type like example #4  on Birding By 
Ear 
Warblers set.
 I will try again with tape play-back if anyone would like to join me  at 8AM 
Friday, Narrows of the Harpeth S.P. (The weather may not be the best  Friday 
morning) 
 At any rate the Nashville area this weekend will be a prime place to  look 
for these elusive ones. (see Spring TOS meeting field trip offerings  listed 
elsewhere)
 
Cerulean Warbler - 2
Am. Redstat 
N. Parula

Yellow-throated Warbler

Louisiana Waterthrush - eating large dragonfly below tunnel spillway
Least Flycatcher -1

Total species for two days was 106 and warblers (including the Connecticut)  
totaled 23.
