[TN-Bird] Nashville CBC results

Nashville CBC
December 20, 2008
 
Nashville had a good count of 78 species, with the best highlight being the  
incredible arrival of the same two Whooping Cranes which spent last winter in  
the Bells Bend area (identified by their leg bands).  They were spotted in  
the very same field as last year, and we hope that they decide to stay for a  
while.  There was also one Snow Goose in that same field, no Northern  
Bobwhites or Turkey Vultures on the count, 1 adult Bald Eagle in Williamson  
County on 
Moran Rd., 4 Eurasian Collared-Doves in Bells Bend, 3 Red-headed  
Woodpeckers, no Loggerhead Shrikes, 1 Red-breasted Nuthatch at Warner Park,  
11,699 
American Robins, our only warbler - 80  Yellow-rumpeds, 13 Purple  Finches, and 
30 
Pine Siskins.  During count week 5 Sandhill Cranes were  seen at Bells Bend.  
Thank you to all participants.
