Update on some local target species.
No luck with the Scissortail Flycatcher at I-24/Tn 840 junction today, I had 
looked on 4-29 but not yesterday.  At the site of the 2004 STFLY nest on 
Florence Road, a Loggerhead Shrike was seen on the wires, a species that has 
virtually disappeared from this area over the past 20 years.  The 
Yellow-crowned Night-Herons at the Discovery Center appear to have nested 
successfully, as one young bird was seen this AM.  In northern Rutherford 
County near the Wilson County line, a Bewick's Wren was singing at one of the 
most consistent sites at the intersection of Alsup Mill Road and Rocky Hill 
Road.  DeLorme page 54 just barely.  There is also one pair of Lark Sparrows 
nesting in the field across from the trailer at 550 Alsup Mill Road, near the 
wrens.  Tape might be helpful with either or both of these birds.

Cheers
