[TN-Bird] Bell's Bend & Beaman Park - Davidson Co.

I birded Bells Bend this morning from 7-11, much of that time with  
Scott Block. We saw the usual suspects, including Field, Henslow's  
(1), Savannah (1), Swamp, Grasshopper (heard only), White-throated,  
and Lincoln's Sparrows (1). Chats were plentiful, as were Prairie  
Warblers, Common Yellowthroats, and Indigo Buntings. Palms were not  
too far behind. We had a few Orchard Orioles, including a first- 
summer male, and a female Summer Tanager. My FOS birds were: Yellow- 
billed Cuckoo, Catbird, and Northern Waterthrush, the latter along  
the creek found where the trail past the barn dead ends at the river  
bottom.

Afterwards I went to Beaman with low expectations since it was  
nearing noon, but I had quite good luck and added five more FOS  
birds: Wood Thrush, Swainson's Thrush, Veery, and, best of all, a  
Blackburnian and a Bay-breasted Warbler, both of which were on the  
Sedge Hill Trail almost to the visitor's center and singing.
