Creek Greenway

Davidson Co., TNJuly 20, 2013
On Saturday,
seven birders arrived at the Richland Creek Greenway for a bit of early morning
birding. Avoiding the joggers, bikers, baby strollers, and dogs, we managed to
find a nice variety of summer nesters. Through the shaded portion of the trail
we heard and saw an INDIGO BUNTING and GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER. At the far end
of the walk EASTERN BLUEBIRDs posed for us, while on the walk back to the
parking area an EASTERN KINGBIRD fluttered overhead. In all 25 species were
seen or heard.
