Beaman Park
Davidson County
I had a nice hike along the creek trail in Beaman Park this morning (7:30
- 9:30 am) before the heat of the day kicked in. It was actually quite
comfortable until I climbed higher on the ridge.
The WORM-EATING WARBLERS that were plentiful 2-3 weeks ago were not
singing much today, but I did see one near the start of the trail near the
lower
parking lot off Lower Marrowbone Rd. I only heard one other one as the
trail makes it's way up the ridge.
I heard 2-3 LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSHES singing along the creek, and there were
plenty of ACADIAN FLYCATCHERS and WOOD THRUSHES singing.
At one point along the creek, just before the junction with the trail up to
the Nature Center, I came upon a small mobbing action of birds including
CAROLINA CHICKADEES (3), TITMICE (2), an ACADIAN FLYCATCHER, and a RED-EYED
VIREO. I'm not sure what had them so agitated. As I watched them, I
noticed some movement in some lower bushes and saw a pair of OVENBIRDS. I was
able to watch them for about five minutes before they decided they had
enough of the excitement.
I heard two more OVENBIRDS singing as I made my way up the ridge, and also
heard SCARLET TANAGER, SUMMER TANAGER, BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER,
WHITE-BREASTED NUTHATCH, PILEATED WOODPECKER, and YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO.
