June 01, 2006 5.30 - 6.15pm Radnor Lake State Park Davidson County Nashville, TN As I got out of the car in the East parking lot, I was greeted by a singing Indigo Bunting. He kept singing in the same spot for about 5 minutes, then he left. Then on the Lake trail, I got my first very close look at two Pileated Woodpeckers. They were pecking just 10 feet from me very close to ground. When I walked up to the dam, there was another Indigo Bunting singing at the top of a tree. What a beautiful evening. I was thinking, Isn't it late in the season to have indigo buntings around here? Are these two birds just hanging around longer, or is it normal for them?
