In about 20 minutes spent at that spot, calls could be heard from Dickcissels (2), Bob White Quail (2), Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Yellow-breasted Chat (close to the road), Indigo Bunting (great views also), Field Sparrow, Blue Grosbeak, American Crow, Grasshopper Sparrow (several, one giving great viewing), and there was a fly-over by a Chimney Swift. That is a very birdy field right now.
