4/8/14
Old Hickory Lake, Davidson County
Nashville( Snow Bunting Peninsula and Dam area)
Hendersonville. Drakes Creek and Saunders Ferry Park
 
Had Caspian Tern, Ring-billed Gulls and 1 banded Herring Gull at SB  
Peninsula this morning along with Coots and GB Herons, Tree and Rough-winged  
swallows.  
 
At the Dam area (Eagles were on the Nest on the way to the Dam),  
Blue-winged Teal, Lesser Scuap and Ruddy Ducks best birds a few wild  
Mallards(basing 
this on the fact they flew when I got close instead of ust  hanging around. 
 Lots of GB Herons, Black =crowned night herons and DC  cormorants at the 
tailwater of the Dam. Amazing to watch a Great Blue Heron land  in deep 
moving water and then take off again. 
 
Drakes Creek Hendersonville, TN. Sumner County.
 
Am. White Pelicans still present, Great Egret, GB Herons, DC Cormorants,  
Tree and RW swallows, Purple Martins and 14 Common Loons seen out from

Good birding
