["Troy Ettel" <Troy.Ettel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was out at Bell's Bend this afternoon with Michael Bierly and we were =
pleased to find a large flock of 70-75 American Pipits in soybean stubble. =
=20

They were mostly split off into smaller groups of up to 10 birds each =
until we flushed them all at once, at which time they formed a single =
large flock.

Bell's Bend lies just west of Nashville, in Davidson County, on the =
Cumberland River.  We were on Old Hickory Blvd., on the parkland owned by =
Nashville Metro Parks, in the bean stubble just past the last city =
property sign. =20

Other birds seen on the property included:
Killdeer
