Jan Shaw and I birded Bells Bend Park this morning for about four hours. The 
highlight of our day came at the end as we were approaching the outdoor center 
and got good looks at a Le Conte's Sparrow. The bird was in the field directly 
behind the outdoor center to the right of the path and near the SW corner. (For 
those of you who have birded Bell Bend over the years, this is the field that 
had Henslow's Sparrows several years ago.) The bird flew from a patch of 
foxtails into a small locust tree where it sat for a few  minutes. The Sedge 
Wren was along the gravel trail just past the field where the Henslow's 
Sparrows were this year. Swamp Sparrows were out in good numbers, other species 
less so. Another highlight was having a covey of quail explode into flight 
within a few yards of us.
