Long Hunter State Park
Hermitage-Davidson Co. TN
25 April 2011
.
I took a hike around the 2-mile paved Couchville Lake LoopTrail at Long
Hunter State Park this morning. I was overwhelmed at the number of
PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS. Along this lake-side trail I counted 10. Standing
along the wooden bridge at the north end of the Lake I could even see
flashes of yellow in the trees at lake's edge.  In two cases on my walk
there appeared to be two males and one female in close proximity; perhaps
things aren't settled yet.
Afterwards, I took a hike on a portion of the Volunteer Trail, which is on
the other side of Hobson Pike. Below is my list from both trails:
