Gossett Tract and Hidden Lake
Harpeth River State Park
Davidson and Cheatham counties
The temperature and humidity stayed low for this July morning as NTOS
members enjoyed a very pleasant field trip. Most of the birds were found at
the Gossett Tract as we were there in the early hours and spent most of our
time there. We started and ended our morning with great views of male Blue
Grosbeaks, plus a female and one fledgling. Other highlights included a
Wild Turkey that exploded out of the brush with attending young, nice looks
at Acadian Flycatchers, several White-eyed Vireos, a couple singing Wood
Thrushes, 4 Brown Thrashers foraging in the path together at Hidden Lake, six
species of warblers (Blue-winged, Northern Parula, Prairie, Prothonotary,
Common Yellowthroat, and a Yellow-breasted Chat carrying food), several
Indigo Buntings, and many Orchard Orioles (at least 6 in one spot at the
Gossett Tract which included 2 adult males, 2 females, and 2 young males).
Thanks to Richard Connors for leading us.
