Early Sunday morning in the River Plantation subdivision of Bellevue on
the western outskirts of Nashville, I spent a few minutes looking for
migrants from my postage stamp front yard. This vantage point is atop a
bank that is about 70 yards from the Harpeth River. First, I found an
EASTERN PHOEBE hawking insects. Then a flock of chickadees moved in
to feed on the extensive collection of weed seeds. Along with this
small flock were 3 TENNESSEE WARBLERs. As I contemplated heading back
into the warmth of my house, a COOPER'S HAWK streaked into view
followed by a group of perhaps a dozen EUROPEAN STARLINGs. The hawk
landed in a nearby bare tree where the starlings buzzed it once before
giving up the chase.
