Hickory - Priest CBC Jan. 1, 2012 Nashville TN
Eighteen people were out in 5 parties, on a very windy but still warmer
than usual New Years Day.
Highlights include: one likely TUNDRA SWAN seen early and briefly by Scott
Somershoe at Anderson Rd Rec Area (some so-so photos), Marsh Wren at
Shelby Bottoms, Gray Catbird and Orange-crowned Warbler on the Old Hickory
section, and 3 Merlins - probably our high count for this CBC. Scott reported
usual high numbers of Ring-billed Gulls roosting on Percy Priest Lake at
twilight, lower than usual Com. Loons, with higher than previous duck
diversity. Chris Sloan reported higher than previous numbers of Com. Loons
roosting
on Old Hickory Lake.
One notable miss was Herring Gull. Our preliminary total is 90 species
tallied.
