[James M Moore <jimimoore@xxxxxxxx>]

Today in Jacksboro, TN  (Campbell County, N of Knoxville)  behind the
National Guard Armory  on Industrial Parkway, I visited a spoil area-
weedy field that has been extrememly productive the last 4 yrs around
this date for Sparrow species. The one area has grown up quite a bit into
successional growth, 
but the bulldozed areas behind the armory and new factory fields have
good habitat that is very favorable. Despite the wind,and at mid-day I
had the below. (Numbers 
are approximate as there was so much movement from place to place with
the wind blowing etc.)  This is only about a 1 acre area!  It is aways
great!
18-20   WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW.  As a tip, just do a White-Throated
Sparrow song in the right habitat, and White-Crowns always pop up for me
and start singing..
8-9   VESPER SPARROWS    5 were along the ground together in one spot
The others across the road in a cow pasture
7   SAVANNAH SPARROWS
3        Field Sparrows
Numerous Song Sparrows
6         Swamp Sparrows
