12-13-14Old Hickory Dam area, Nashville, TN It was a chilly morning at Old
Hickory Lake; nonetheless, thirteen birders gathered for a wonderful outing.
Activity was slow along the Nature Trail, but a few highlights included
brilliant views of a Pileated Woodpecker which landed on a telephone pole
behind the woodlands and Hermit Thrushes and Fox Sparrows near the trail's
entrance. "Snow Bunting Peninsula" was a bit more productive. One
Bonaparte's Gull and one Herring Gull were the only gulls in the vicinity other
than the abundant Ring-bills. Common Loons were scattered around the lake, as
well as both Horned and Pied-billed Grebes. A raft of Ruddy Ducks was a nice
addition to the trip list, and not far away floated a lone female Bufflehead.
Overall, it was a nice morning! Thank you to all who participated! (List
below.) ***Get it on your calendars...the next NTOS field trip is on January
