Good afternoon listers...
  After a great morning of birding with our fellow NTOS members at Hope Park 
Church, Steve and I decided to drop by Bell's Bend on our way home to see what 
we could pshhh up.
We arrived there around 12:30 pm at the lower parking lot and were immediately 
greeted with the song of a PRAIRE WARBLER (there were many heard along our 
way), the flitting of a pair of BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHERS, the songs of FIELD 
SPARROWS and one of many COMMOM YELLOW THROATS.  Within 50 ft of the bridge we 
were treated to the sight and sound of a gorgeous YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT.  We 
would see and hear at least 6 as we walked along.  Another treat were 5 calling 
NORTHERN BOBWHITES. We saw them up near the barn/picnic area.  Rounding out the 
list during our hour visit were RED-WINGED BLACKBIRDS, EASTERN MEADOWLARK, 
BLACK AND TURKEY VULTURES, EASTERN BLUEBIRD, BROWN-HEADED COWBIRDS AND COMMON 
GRACKLE.  We did not see or hear the HENSLOW'S SPARROW but the sun was high in 
the sky and the heat of the day was upon us.  Perhaps next time...
 Until next time,
Good birding!
