Subject: Dip on the Bells vireo
In reply to: Chuck 's message, "Bell's Vireo - Wood County" on 09:11:56 06/01/02 Sat

Late this afternoon, I tried and dipped on the Bells vireo. Not to say the bird couldn't still be there, I was just unable to find it.

Here are a little better directions, from I-75. Take the Quarry road exit, and go west on Quarry road to the Slippery Elm Trail. Park, and walk north along the trail for about a mile and a half. Actually, Needles road is 1 road north of Quarry, and if you can get there (I did not look on a map), then it is easier to walk north from there. A little less than a half mile north of Needles road along the trail, you will find a wooden bench with a sign across the trail that indeed does say "Wood County Oil Boom". This is where Chuck found the bird. The very nice grassland just to the SW of the bench is obvious, and Bobolinks were very common.


There were other birds to observe, that some people may find of interest:

Bobolink-many
Orchard oriole-several
Brown thrasher- At least 3 pairs, a very good number
Willow flycatcher-a few
Common yellowthroat
Yellow warbler
Chipping, Savannah, Field, Song, and Vesper sparrow
Ring-necked pheasant
E. Meadowlarks


Looks like a potential place for Dickcissel, W.meadowlark, W.kingbird (in my wildest dreams), and obviously, Bells vireo.
