[TN-Bird] Greene Co., TN Sedge Wren

Clyde Austin 4-H Center

Between noon and 1 pm today I saw a Sedge Wren in a fence row bordering a 
thickly grown, weedy fescue field on property adjacent to the Clyde Austin 4-H 
Center belonging to the Tobacco Experiment Station.  This was a life bird for 
me, and it took me a while to realize what it was.  I thought it was a House 
Wren, until I noticed the fine white and black lines on the back.  Fortunately, 
the camp dog was nosing around in the fencerow, and the wren kept popping up a 
couple of feet above ground level to watch it, so I had plenty of time to look 
at field marks at distances between 5 and 15 ft.  Other species seen near this 
site today included Savannah Sparrow, Palm Warbler, and Northern Bobwhite.
