The Nashville CBC was held on Dec.  15 and totaled 85 species, a little 
higher than usual.  There was also one  count week species, Barred Owl at 
Radnor Lake, and 2 possible heard only Sedge  Wrens on count day at Warner 
Parks. 
 The day was mild and mostly  cloudy, but with some rain and strong winds.  
Highlights included 1  Peregrine Falcon in West Meade, 2 Whooping Cranes in 
Bells Bend, 1 Wilson's  Snipe at Poplar Creek, 2 American Woodcock at Bells 
Bend, 1 Bonaparte's Gull at  Radnor Lake, 11 Eastern Screech-Owls (7 at 
Warner Parks), 4 Red-headed  Woodpeckers, 1 Horned Lark and 1 American Pipit at 
Bells Bend, 8 Red-breasted  Nuthatches, 12 Rusty Blackbirds at Bells Bend, 
6 Purple Finches, and 23 Pine  Siskins.  The cranes were on private 
property.  The colored leg bands  identify them as birds #1-03 and #8-05 by the 
International Crane  Foundation.  These are the same individuals that were 
observed in the same  general area during the 2007 and 2008 Nashville CBCs.  
Thank you so much to  all who participated, and to Susan Hollyday for once 
again 
hosting a delicious  compilation dinner.  And thank you to Scott Block for 
compiling the  numbers.
