[TN-Bird] Indigo Bunting, Common Yellowthroat (Davidson Co., TN)

October 24-25, 2005
[posting date: October 26, 2005]

While in Nashville early this week, I made a couple of observations that 
might be of interest to Davidson County birders, so I'm sending them along--

Indigo Bunting (on October 24, below the James Knox Polk and Sarah 
Childress Polk gravesite adjacent to the state capitol; this is one day 
later than I've observed this species in Greene County, and I suspect 
that it might be a fairly late date for Davidson County; in any case, it 
was interesting to find a fall Indigo Bunting in a thoroughly urban 
habitat; practically all the INBU I find in fall are in weedy fields, 
overgrown fencerows, or brush piles in rural areas);

Common Yellowthroat (on October 25, below the capitol in a weedy patch 
no more than twenty feet from the railroad track near the intersection 
of 10th Avenue North and Nelson Merry Street; I wasn't surprised to find 
Song Sparrows, White-throated Sparrows, and Dark-eyed Juncos in this 
spot, but I was a little startled to find a Common Yellowthroat).
