Beaman ParkBirding Seasons: Spring A+ Summer A- Fall B Winter B
Site Description and Habitats Located in northwest Davidson County on the edge of the Western Highland Rim, the 1500-acre Beaman Park offers residents and visitors a deep-woods birding experience somewhat different from that in the nearby Nashville Basin. With ridge tops and elevations just under 1000 feet, deep hollows and the clear waters of the Little Marrowbone, Henry, and Bull Creeks, the parks flora includes species not common in the Nashville Basin, such as mountain laurel, wild azalea, and blueberries.
Bird species of interest: Spring and Fall Migration: Louisiana Waterthrush (spring), Worm-eating Warbler (spring), Black-and-white Warbler, any other warbler or vireo is possible. Cape May Warbler is rare in middle Tennessee in spring and can sometimes be found at the parking lot at the top of the steep hill off Little Marrowbone Rd. Ovenbird, Eastern Wood-pewee, and Red-eyed Vireos are common in spring and summer. Summer: Louisiana Waterthrush, Worm-eating Warbler, Black-and-white Warbler, Indigo Bunting. Winter: American Goldfinch, Pine Siskins at the feeders (in good irruption years), Fox Sparrow, Winter Wren, Hermit Thrush, and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. Year-Round: Resident woodland birds.
