Wanting a change of venue, I birded Ellington Agricultural Center both 
mornings this weekend.  They have recently added new mulched trails there, 
which 
combined with the other grassy and gravel trails, provide access through woods, 
wood edge, fields, streams, and hilltops.  This is where TWRA has its offices, 
and is about 2 miles east of Radnor Lake, Davidson County.  This is also where 
NTOS will be hosting part of the 2006 TOS Spring Meeting.  Some of the 
birding highlights over the weekend included:

Cooper's Hawk
Red-tailed Hawk
Killdeer
Chimney Swift
Pileated Woodpecker
Eastern Bluebird
Swainson's Thrush
Cedar Waxwing
Northern Parula
Magnolia Warbler
Blackburnian Warbler
American Redstart
Common Yellowthroat
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Indigo Bunting
Eastern Towhee

I look forward to returning to see what else turns up.
