[TN-Bird] BLACK-THROATED SPARROW-Upadate

My dad and I met Morris Williams in Elora (Lincoln County, TN) about 2:00 
yesterday afternoon.  We went to the site, and within 30 minutes had an adult 
BLACK-THROATED SPARROW in view!  It is in association will a variety of 
sparrows, including Song, White-throated, Savannah, and Field.  The habitat is 
brush associated with a timber harvest (tree tops, etc.) along the edge of a 
forested area and cotton fields/nursery.  I had to get to Knoxville for 
meetings today, so dad and I left around 4:00.  Mike Todd arrived as we were 
leaving, but I have not heard if he found the bird.  The bird is on PRIVATE 
property, on which Morris has been given permission to conduct bird surveys.  
He is going to contact the property owner and try to get "blanket" permission 
for all birders.  I will contact him when I return from Knoxville tomorrow, and 
see what he has been able to work out.  Until we know access rights, please 
refrain from visiting the site.  We do not want to upset the owner!  If a
 ccess is granted, I will post detailed directions.  If all else fails, perhaps 
Morris will be able to lead groups to see the bird.  I will let everyone know 
as soon as possible.
