Beaman Park
Nashville-Davidson Co. TN

Nine birders met under threatening skies this morning at Beaman Park in
northwest Nashville-Davidson County. We got in about an hour of birding
before the skies grew ominously dark. The birds became quiet. It was so dark
we couldn't see much through the forest. A check of weather radar showed a
serious line of rain moving in. A quick turn around got us back to our cars
in time. End of Field Trip.
However, we did get some birding in. A YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER sang out in
the open from the top of a bare tree in the parking lot. This same tree was
hosting a singing INDIGO BUNTING when we returned to the parking lot. We
got some good looks at a LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH bobbing itself as it walked
through the creek, stopping to investigate leaf litter. Some of the group
got fast looks at a WORMING-EATING WARBLER and a female SCARLET TANAGER.
Here's a list of what we observed in the time we had.
