Shelby Park and Bottoms
Davidson Co.
Things were really hopping this morning at Shelby Park and Bottoms. I birded
throughout the park including Mission Hill as well as Phase 1 and 3 of the
Bottoms. I ended up with 86 species. Highlights included 2 Black-billed
Cuckoos in Phase 3 (near the bridge over Cooper's Creek), 6 Great Egrets, and 1
Golden-winged Warbler. At one point I had Baltimore Oriole, Rose-breasted
Grosbeak, and Warbling Vireo in the same binocular view. Nice to see migration
in full swing; complete list below:
