[TN-Bird] Swainson's Warbler, Blue Grosbeaks at Ellington, Davidson Co.

4-22-08
Ellington Ag Center
Davidson Co.
7:30-11:00
 
This morning I covered almost all of Ellington Ag Center and had  a fine 
birding day.  The best bird of the day was a Swainson's Warbler  near the 
cemetery.  Although they have nested at Ashland City Marsh in  Cheatham Co., 
just west 
of Nashville, they are rarely seen in Davidson Co.   There was also a pair of 
Blue Grosbeaks, one of them swishing its tail from  side to side like we 
observed at Shelby Park on Saturday.
