May 4, 2006 Harpeth River State Park, Narrows of the Harpeth section Cheatham Co. TN Day two of TN State Parks birding training workshop for State Parks rangers was conducted at sites along the Harpeth River, highlights include: CONNECTICUT WARBLER -1- HEARD ONLY -no one volunteering to wade the weeds and brambles to flush it out. The habitat was suitable, thick cover of second growth saplings with relatively open mid-story and under-story of grass and weed tangles. Song was the less twisting type like example #4 on Birding By Ear Warblers set. I will try again with tape play-back if anyone would like to join me at 8AM Friday, Narrows of the Harpeth S.P. (The weather may not be the best Friday morning) At any rate the Nashville area this weekend will be a prime place to look for these elusive ones. (see Spring TOS meeting field trip offerings listed elsewhere) Cerulean Warbler - 2 Am. Redstat N. Parula Yellow Warbler Yellow-throated Warbler Common Yellowthroat Blue-winged Warbler Chat Northern Waterthrush Louisiana Waterthrush - eating large dragonfly below tunnel spillway Least Flycatcher -1 Savannah Sparrow - 2 - singing, at Gossett Tract Total species for two days was 106 and warblers (including the Connecticut) totaled 23.
