I visited Rockland Recreation area at the north side of Old Hickory Dam in Hendersonville, Sumner county, yesterday and had a productive time. I walked the open field with a few trees, then the archery trail. This is at the end of the road just downstream of the dam. Flying over the river were many Double-Crested Cormorants, Great Blue Herons, and Black-Crowned Night Herons. In the trees and woods I spotted and/or heard Yellow Warbler Blackpoll Warbler Palm Warbler Yellow-rumped Warbler Orchard Oriole Warbling Vireo White-Eyed Vireo Red-Eyed Vireo Cape May Warbler Indigo Bunting Yellow-Breasted Chat Black-Throated Green Warbler Nashville Warbler Tennessee Warbler Orange-Crowned Warbler Blackburnian Warbler Swainsons Thrush Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher This added many new birds to my Sumner county list. Later while bike riding in Hendersonville, I saw a Wilson's Snipe at a pond, and heard two Bob Whites calling.
