The Nashville Spring Count was held on May 8 with 142 species totaled.
Some areas were not able to be covered due to the devastating flooding that
occurred here last weekend. It was a very trying week for all of us, and I
really appreciate the patience and help of all the participants, and know
that others would liked to have helped if they could. Transient migrant
numbers were down, as they have been all spring. And the flooding took its
toll on nesting birds, especially Cliff Swallows and ground nesters. But
there were some highlights such as a late Ring-necked Duck at Shelby Park, 4
Bald Eagles, several shorebird species thanks to flooded sod farms and the
Gallatin Steam Plant, 3 Red-headed Woodpeckers, 1 Willow Flycatcher at
Shelby Bottoms, 3 Scissor-tailed Flycatchers and 3 Bewick's Wrens in
Rutherford
Co., 121 Bank Swallows, Vesper, Henslow's and Lincoln's sparrows at Bells
Bend, and 1 Lark Sparrow, 6 Grasshopper Sparrows, and 2 Dickcissels on the
Percy Priest route. Both tanagers and Orchard Orioles were found in large
numbers.
