[Beckhambc@xxxxxxx]

We went birding this morning at Tom Sawyer State Park.  We found seven 
species of warblers and 7 species of sparrows.
Tennessee Warblers were quite numerous feeding in the tall grasses and golden 
rod. 
There a were a few orange-crowned warblers in with the Tennessees.
Yellow-rumpeds have arrived in number. One Cape May was a nice find. Also 
seen were a common yellowthroat, magnolia, and black-thr. green.
Sparrows: Beautiful looks at several Lincoln sparrows; white- throated; 
white-crowned; field; song; swamp; and chipping.

This afternoon in the wooded area behind our home we discovered a new arrival 
-- a hermit thrush our first for this season. A winter wren was observed up 
close and personal. What a neat bird! Three yellow-bellied sapsuckers were 
also sighted.

It was a nice day for fall birding, but that wind did have a little bite to 
it.

Enjoy the great outdoors,
Pat and Jane Bell
