Decided to brave the blistering heat and humidity today to check out Stone's River Greenway from the Kohl's Department Store parking lot on Lebanon Rd. for 1\2 mile south towards Percy Priest Dam along the greenway. Several species of birds including some that were probably warblers but were too close for my 10X50 binoculars to see clearly. Of note were dozens of butterflies and dragonflies of numerous varieties including one beautiful Zebra Swallowtail. On the way home I was startled to see two deer in someone's front yard in a heavily developed suburb of Hermitage! My total list of birds are as follows: American Goldfinch Many calling and singing Blue Jay 1 calling Carolina Chickadee Numerous seen and heard Carolina Wren 2 present calling Field Sparrow 1 Singing Great Blue Heron one present on the opposite (East) bank of Stone's river near trailheadKilldeer 1 Northern Cardinal 2 Number of Species: 8 Nat Winston III Hermitage, TNthornius@xxxxxxxxxxxxx =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to sign your messages with first and last name, city (town) and state abbreviation. ----------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, simply send email to: tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to: tn-bird-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TN-Bird Net is owned by the Tennessee Ornithological Society Neither the society(TOS) nor its moderator(s) endorse the views or opinions expressed by the members of this discussion group.
