Dear Birders:
 We had the chance today to run by the Clarksville Marina (The Shell Station) 
and we're happy to report that the White-winged Scoter is still present.  Today 
he was feeding to the far left along the rocked bank.  Also present were 6 
Lesser Scaup, 1 Shoveler, 1 Ruddy Duck, 1 Female Hooded Merganser, 1 female 
Redhead Duck, 1 female Bufflehead and 189 Ring-billed Gulls.
From there we ran by Dunbar Cave Lake...still present were the Redhead Ducks, 
the Canvasbacks, Ring-necked Duck, Ruddy Duck, 15 Mallards and about 125 Canada 
Geese that we've seen for a couple weeks now.
 
On our way to a late lunch in Nashville with friends we took a small detour and 
stopped by the lower parking lot at Beaman Park, in Davidson County to 
specifically find the Red-breasted Nuthatches that have been reported to be 
there.  We pulled into the parking lot and in no time found 2 of them feeding 
in the tall Pine trees near the Port-a-potty.  From there it was a quick trip 
by the dam at Percy Priest.  There were a thousand plus Ring-billed Gulls on 
Lake.  We spotted one or two Common Loons almost to the far side and about 50 
American Coots.  It was very quiet below the dam with the exception of a few 
runners and 3 kids rolling down the big hill.  

And so our 2011 year list continues. 

Have a great week.  And as always,
Happy birding!
