Warner Park
Nashville-Davidson Co., TN
28 April 2008

Eleven members of Nashville TOS met this morning for a two-part outing at Edwin 
Warner Park in Nashville.
From 7:00am-8:30am we birded the trails and road behind the Nature Center on 
Highway 100. These 90 minutes resulted in 39 species.  Highlights were seven 
BALTIMORE ORIOLES, six males and one female feeding on a tree covered with tent 
caterpillars. The sun was just up enough to bathe the tree in light that caught 
the birds at their best.

At 8:30 the original group met two additional NTOS members and others for an 
outing on the North Reserve, led by Ed Gleaves for Warner Parks. This newest 
addition to the over 2500 acres of existing Warner Parks property is not yet 
open to the public, so it was a real treat to scout it out. We had 33 species 
for this portion of the outing. A highlight was a SHARP-SHINNED HAWK that 
continually harassed a TURKEY VULTURE causing the latter to dive and careen 
over and over again.

Here is what we saw on combined walks:
