While birding for migrating warblers on the south side of Old Hickory Lake April 26 I saw my first pair of Western Tanagers. It was a relief to see Ken Oeser report the same in Hendersonville on the other side of the lake. Also enjoyed watching a Rosebreasted Groesbeck. A pair of Black Vultures have been nesting on a duck blind (next to the Canadian Geese nest with 2 goslings) near our home as well as a pair of Red Shoulder Hawks and a pair of Barred Owls within a 100 feet of our house again this year. The Prothonotary Warbler is back again this year building false nests near our house while searching for a mate. Paul Van Buren, 515 Hillwood Dr. Mt.
