Bells Bend Sod Farm
Old Hickory Blvd
Davidson Co., TN
2015 Sept. 11
7:05-7:50am

I got up early this Friday morning and headed out early to the
Bells Bend Sod Farm near the end of Old Hickory Blvd. As luck
would have it, my early start enabled me to miss a serious auto
accident on I-40 that would have substantially delayed me.
I'd been at the sod farm a couple times earlier in the week and
the only "shorebird" that I found was the usual flock of Killdeer.
However, this time I spotted a distant peep in the center of the
field in front of the major irrigation pipe, that turned out to
be a BAIRD'S SANDPIPER. It spent much of its time feeding in the
low grass and at times was able to disappear in it. A LESSER
YELLOWLEGS also flew in briefly.

Walter S. Davis Blvd Marsh

Stopped at the marsh after the sod farm and found 1 LESSER YELLOWLEGS
and 1 SOLITARY SANDPIPER plus plenty of KILLDEER.
