Peeler Park, Neelys Bend
Old Hickory Dam, Snow Bunting Peninsula
Davidson Co., TN
Saturday, 2012 Aug. 25
Ten birders from the Nashville chapter of TOS got an early
start Saturday at Peeler Park in the Neelys Bend area of north
Davidson County. Perhaps the best bird of the morning was
CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER found near the end of our three mile
walk. Other warbler species included two BLACK-AND-
WHITEs and a COMMON YELLOWTHROAT. We also enjoyed views of
three YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOOs and a BARRED OWL calling in the
distance at the beginning of our walk. Two BLUE GROSBEAKs
were a special treat for some of our group. In the meadow
sections INDIGO BUNTINGs were our nearly constant
companions, along with numerous butterflies. By the end of
our walk we had found 34 bird species.
After finishing our visit to Peeler Park several birders
tagged along for the short hop to Snow Bunting Peninsula in
the Old Hickory Dam area. The 1500-2000 PURPLE MARTINs
flying around the peninsula and sitting on high tension
lines provided an impressive spectacle.
