10-11-08 Ellington Agricultural Center Davidson Co. Eleven NTOS members enjoyed a beautiful morning at Ellington with a mixture of resident birds, migrants passing through, and arriving winter species. Blue Jays, Eastern Bluebirds, and Robins were in constant flux, flying this way and that. We started with a good flock of warblers at the Iris Garden parking lot in the dim light, and ended with a very excited group of warblers (Tennessee, Blackburnian, Magnolia, Yellow-rumped) at the other end of the iris garden in much better light that were chipping loudly. Other nice finds were Blue-headed Vireo, House Wren, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Black-throated Green, Palm, American Redstart, Common Yellowthroat, Song Sparrow, Swamp Sparrow, and several Indigo Buntings. accipiter sp. 1 mourning dove 40 belted kingfisher 2 red-bellied woodpecker 1 downy woodpecker 5 northern flicker 3 eastern phoebe 3 blue-headed vireo 1 blue jay 22 American crow 4 Carolina chickadee 13 tufted titmouse 6 white-breasted nuthatch 3 Carolina wren 13 house wren 1 ruby-crowned kinglet 2 eastern bluebird 18 thrush sp. 1 American robin 16 gray catbird 1 northern mockingbird 6 brown thrasher 1 European starling 110 Tennessee warbler 10 magnolia 4 yellow-rumped 10 black-throated green 2 blackburnian 2 palm 3 American redstart 1 common yellowthroat 1 eastern towhee 1 song sparrow 1 swamp sparrow 1 northern cardinal 16 indigo bunting 7 red-winged blackbird 4 common grackle 12 brown-headed cowbird 4 house finch 7 American goldfinch 10 house sparrow 4 Jan Shaw Nashville, TN **************New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination.
