[TN-Bird] Bark Camp Barrens WMA

Just a couple notes from Bark Camp Barrens WMA in Coffee Co.  I conducted 
standardized point counts across nearly all the mitigation forest 
(regeneration) on Hickerson Rd (the roadside Henslow's Sparrow location) on Wed 
and Thursday.

Totals:
~70+ Yellow-breasted Chat
~40+ Prairie Warbler
~20 singing Northern Bobwhite
4 Henslow's Sparrows- 3 by the 90 degree turn by the sod farm and 1 about 1 km 
north nearer the fescue field on private property.
1 hen Wild Turkey with palm sized poults at the 90 degree bend by the sod farm
2 Willow Flycatchers- on the east side of Hickerson Rd in the area that was 
burned by an arsonist 2 years ago.  The birds were counter singing on the north 
end of the mitigation by the private land fescue field.  One provided very nice 
looks too, made up for the thrashing through blackberry and poison ivy all 
morning.

I had likely nesting Cedar Waxwings in there last year, but haven't seen any 
yet this year.

Cheers,
