Bell's Bend Park
Northern Davidson Co.
5/12/2010

Cyndi and I spent a quiet, but productive, afternoon at Bell's Bend. The 
highlights included the singing Willow Flycatcher exactly where Ed Schneider 
said it would be. ( At the first intersection on the left as you head toward 
the barn from the visitor center) Also, there were two separate, but 
brilliant views of Henslow's sparrows on the right hand side of the pathway 
that continues down to the barn. Prairie Warblers and Northern Bobwhite were 
actively singing practically everywhere. At least 5-6 of each species were 
seen and several more were heard throughout the trails.  The last "fun find" 
was an actively singing Blue-winged Warbler along the long tree line that 
separates the barn from the north parking lot and entrance.  Below is the 
e-bird generated list of this afternoon.

Always a lot of fun,

Steve & Cyndi Routledge
