Beaman Park
Davidson County, TN
June 20, 2015
The NTOS's field trip to Beaman Park was a great success, despite the wet and windy conditions. Upon arrival, we were treated to a chorus of juvenile Carolina Wrens learning to sing. Worm-eating Warblers, an annual breeder here, responded to pishing and cooperated nicely for the group. A couple of us had fleeting looks at a Great Egret as it flew from the creek - quite a surprise. Louisiana Waterthrushes were also present during our walk, though they were heard only. Thank you to those who participated! Our checklist can be found below.
