I walked the big loop at Bell's Bend Park (Davidson Co.) this morning
from 7:15 to 10:15. I was pleased to find 7 Henslow's Sparrows actively
singing; one was marginally cooperative for some crappy but identifiable
photos (light was awful). Most of the territories are along the trail
running perpendicular to the nature center; I heard the first one
singing before I had even started down the hill from the nature center.
Other observations of note:
Great Egret - 3 flyovers
Cedar Waxwings - 600+
White-eyed Vireo - 1
Palm Warbler - 4
Common Yellowthroat - 2
Vesper Sparrow - 1 photographed
Purple Finch - 7 flyovers
Just outside the park on Old Cleece's Ferry Road, I found a little flock
of Savannah Sparrows (one singing) and a baby Killdeer that I almost
"dismissed" as a Semipalmated Plover!
