[TN-Bird] Blue Grosbeak at Ellington, Nashville

May 29 & 31, '06
Ellington Ag Center
Davidson Co.
Richard Connors, Sarah Scott and I birded Ellington on Monday.  No Oporornis 
this time, but Richard heard and then spotted a male Blue Grosbeak in a large 
tree just east of the big, white horse barn on the hill.  I went back today 
and had it in the same spot, and then a few minutes later in a tulip poplar by 
the cemetery.  This is a new bird for my list there.  There are also two young 
Red-tailed Hawks exercising their wings in the nest on the big transmission 
tower in the field next to Edmondson Pike.  We heard a third making begging 
calls from out of the nest on Monday.
