The Nashville Christmas Count was held on December 20 and totaled 78
species, the same as last year, plus 2 count week species so far, Redhead and
Palm Warbler. Our two most unusual birds for the count were a late Green
Heron at Cumberland River Greenway at Brookmeade Park and a Greater
White-fronted Goose at Radnor Lake. The heron was still there yesterday and
photos
taken, but the goose was not found again. Other highlights included 99 Wild
Turkeys, 2 Bald Eagles at West Meade and Harpeth West, 3 Red-headed
Woodpeckers, 6 Fox Sparrows, 4 White-crowned, and 7 Purple Finches. There was
no
influx of Red-breasted Nuthatches or Pine Siskins this year, and no
Loggerhead Shrikes were found. American Robins were streaming across the sky
all
day long in some areas, and practically nonexistent in others. I want to
thank all who participated, and Susan Hollyday for hosting a delicious
compilation. I also would like to thank Scott Block and Matthew Palmeri for
helping me with the compilation of data.
