Richland Creek Greenway
Nashville-Davidson Co TN
April 26, 2013
A few nice surprises showed up this morning on Richland Creek Greenway. A
singing SWAINSON'S THRUSH greeted us just outside the parking area. It
popped up into the open before flying off. Although the most numerous
warbler species was ( it has been for the past several days in my yard as
well) PALM WARBLERS, two NASHVILLE WARBLERS were present. Their song tipped
me off, but the second one came out into the open on an exposed branch. A
YELLOW WARBLER sang and then hopped out long enough for a quick view
before it flew off. Perhaps the highlights were a loudly chipping BLUE
GROSBEAK that cooperated very nicely and a first year male ORCHARD ORIOLE.
