Phillip Casteel and I went looking for sparrows at Bells Bend Park this
morning and had good success. We got nice looks at 2 VESPER SPARROWs
along the first cross trail behind the visitor's center. Later as
we circled back we also saw a lone HENSLOW'S SPARROW between that
first cross trail and the wooden equipment building, the same
general area where they have been seen in the past several years.
N. BOBWHITEs were calling and 5 of them flushed as we looked at
the HENSLOW'S. A flyover EURASIAN-COLLARED DOVE was a nice addition
to the morning.
We then headed to Beamon Park, looking for the previously reported
RED-HEADED WOODPECKER along the Boardwalk trail. This species is not
very common in Davidson County. We quickly spotted an adult RED-HEADED
attempting to crack a nut in the fork of a tree.
It was an excellent morning of observation, I left for work in a very
positive frame of mind.
