Saturday, September 12, 7:30 a.m.- 12 noon. Bells Bend Park. Temps ranged from
61-68F. Winds were 5-10 mph. Skies were partly cloudy.
What a beautiful and pleasantly chilly morning! Ten smiling birders met at the
Bell’s Bend Nature Center. We had two brand new birders with us, a nine
year-old and her mom who seemed to thoroughly enjoy the whole experience. The
group decided to take the trails behind the nature center first and to try the
sod farms later. The cool temps and light wind were refreshing. We saw 41
species (listed below), if we count a dead Ovenbird that was found on the road
this morning by one of the birders. Highlights were a Yellow-billed Cuckoo, a
Bald Eagle, and a Great Egret. Thanks to everyone who participated!
