[TN-Bird] Re: Shelby Park, Nashville

August 21, 2004
Shelby Park and Bottoms
East Nashville, Dav Co.

I birded Mission Hill in Shelby Park last weekend and relocated the
Olive-sided Flycatcher . . . Not much luck with other migrants, with a
Blue-winged Warbler as the highlight.

I also finally found a SEDGE WREN at Shelby Bottoms . . . He patiently sang
and sang out of sight in the middle of the, well, sedge I guess.

The shorebird area was deserted.  On another note, I also found the Gallatin
Steam Plant deserted a couple of weeks back.  Once again we have a dearth of
migrating windbirds in middle TN.

Good birding-
