I ventured up to the Davidson County side of Old Hickory Lake yesterday afternoon during the storm. Michael Bierly told me years ago that Snow Bunting Peninsula was a good place during bad weather because shorebirds and other birds often would rest there with all the fishing boats gone. I have often found him to be right about that, but nothing much today. Ed Schneider was there right before me and had a Spotted Sandpiper. My most interesting sighting was a westbound Peregrine Falcon that never even slowed down.
