Old Hickory Dam area
J. Percy Priest Dam
Sat. Nov. 17 2012
Nine birders enjoyed a morning outing to the Old Hickory Dam
area followed by a short visit to J. Percy Priest Dam. The
forest trail at the dam produced large numbers of HERMIT
THRUSHes BROWN CREEPERs and GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETs. Two
PINE SISKINs called as they flew over, while a single
RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH was heard by only a small part of the
group. Two RED-SHOULDERED HAWKs were calling in the distance.
Seen circling overhead through the pines was a flock of 12
BONAPARTE'S GULLs. At Snow Bunting Peninsula highlights
included COMMON LOONs, HORNED GREBEs, two NORTHERN SHOVELERs,
and two HERRING GULLs. A quick visit to J. Percy Priest Dam
added no additonal species. We found a total of 55 species
for the morning.
