[TN-Bird] NTOS Shelby Park field trip results

9-20-08    
Shelby Park and Phase 3 of the Bottoms
Davidson Co.
 
Fifteen birders turned out for our annual Fall Flock field trip  to Shelby 
Park and Bottoms this morning and tallied 49 species.  We  enjoyed wonderful 
weather and some great birds, but a fewer than expected number  of warblers for 
this time of year.  An abundance of Gray Catbirds and Brown  Thrashers, and a 
first of season Ruby-crowned Kinglet made up for the  deficit of warblers.  In 
Phase 3 of the Bottoms we walked to and over  the new, impressive pedestrian 
bridge over the Cumberland River and found  Pectoral and Least sandpipers and 
Killdeer at the new shorebird pond next to the  bridge.
