Richland Greenway
Nashville-Davidson Co TN
Saturday 09 April 2011
Fourteen birders joined this morning's Field Trip sponsored by the Nashville
chapter of TOS. Richland Greenway in West Nashville provided a nice mix of
habitat that produced 44 bird species on a fine Spring morning.

Highlights included a singing Hooded Warbler in the parking area, a very
vocal Brown Thrasher that, although out in the open, proved difficult to
find for several minutes, a very colorful and loud White-eyed Vireo, a
Prairie Warbler high in a tree, an Eastern Kingbird, and a lone Canada
Goose, firmly planted on her nest along the creek bank.

Perhaps the most interesting sighting was a pair of Cooper's Hawks working
with a nest in a tree on the golf course. What seemed odd was the fact that
one bird was an adult (male?) and the other was a juvenile, the larger bird.
(female?)
