Bell's Bend Park hosted a morning bird walk today. The participants were me, Tony Lance, and Heather Gallagher. The complete list is below. Bird highlights included: 1 probable Least Flycatcher (seen briefly - small and had a very bold eyering and lacked any apparent yellow wash on the underparts) 1 Sedge Wren 1 Swamp Sparrow 1 Savannah Sparrow We weren't focused on butterflies, but Dainty Sulphurs continue; we saw three without really trying.
