Walter S. Davis Blvd. Marsh
Nashville, Davidson Co., TN
2012 April 16
7:10 am
As I awoke on Monday morning the rain began to fall in Nashville,
and so instead of taking an extended bird walk, I headed directly
to work. However, I did make my usual stop at the Walter S. Davis
Blvd. Marsh on the back side of Tenn. St. University. There is
still some mud visible at the marsh, but a quick scan showed
only one shorebird, a SOLITARY SANDPIPER. The GREATER YELLOWLEGS
that had been seen on Friday and Saturday was missing. I continued
to scan along the edge of the reeds and suddenly came upon a
SORA, feeding in the mud at the edge of the marsh on the right
hand side, not far from the SOLITARY SANDPIPER. This may be the
same bird that Phillip Casteel spotted nearly 2 weeks ago. At about
the same time that I found the bird, the rain started to intensify.
I watched the SORA feed in the open for 1-2 minutes before the
pesky rivulets of water falling down my face became too much of
a distraction, so I opted to get to work a bit early.
