[TN-Bird] Bell's Vireos at Wapanocca - two pair

June 27, 2007
Wapanocca NWR
Crittenden Co, AR
 
I took this morning off from work and Joe Guinn and I went over to get a  
recording of the Bell's Vireo, as it can be seen and heard right next to the  
road. On the way to the site, I heard a Bell's in full song but about 1/3 mile  
from original nest site. We went on to the first site and immediately had that  
bird singing. 
 
After recording the original bird and watching it following a female,  
evidently busily feeding young, we quickly returned to the other site and  
confirmed 
the second singing bird. While watching this bird we saw a second bird  at 
this location. There are two confirmed pairs of Bell's now at Wapanocca. Not  
too bad for a morning in the field. Joe got some great recordings.
 
We stopped by the lake before returning to work and counted 150+ American  
White Pelicans and a single female Anhinga. Lots of other activity on the lake  
but work was waiting.  
Good Birding  !!!
