This morning I went to look for what would have been my state first Willets at 
Snow Bunting Peninsula on the Davidson county side of Old Hickory Dam.  They 
were no where to be seen (thanks a lot for the break in the weather today), but 
out on what is now a small Snow Bunting Island is a Brown Pelican, a few Great 
Blue Herons, 1 Caspian Tern, 1 Bonapartes Gull, and several Ring-Billed Gulls. 
 A likely Least Sandpiper was out there running around, but I didn't have my 
scope with me.  A drive around to the other side of the sand beach didn't 
reveal any Willets either, but a Canada Warbler was warming itself on the 
approach road just off Swinging Bridge Road, and didn't fly away until I backed 
up next to it for a closer look, when it flew to the roadside bushes and gave 
me great looks still.  A Spotted Sandpiper was on the floating barrier around 
the swimming area.  Nothing unusual was seen below the dam.
