Hello Birders,
Saturday, March 26, 2016 seven birders met at 7 a.m. to bird Richland Creek
Greenway, Nashville TN, Davidson County. It was a very chilly morning, even so,
four of us came an hour earlier to do some owling and one Barred Owl was seen
just at daybreak. As the day progressed the temps went from about 37° to a
balmy 57°. The skies were clear and there was no wind. Bird of the day, (my
opinion) was an early Northern Parula, which was heard but not seen.
We all had a great time of fellowship and fun the whole morning long. Other
wildlife seen were grey squirrels, frogs, turtles, fish and one shy rabbit.
Many of us got waylaid on the bridge looking at the many species of fish, and
with their vivid colors, markings, and behaviors, they are as varied as birds.
We saw and heard 37 species of birds, the list to follow below.
A big thanks to those who showed up, for such an enjoyable morning!
