[TN-Bird] Intro from Lewis County

Howdy all,

I'm a 32-year-long birder (got started by a seventh-grade science  
teacher).  I've lived in Georgia, South Carolina, California, and  
Colorado, and moved to western Lewis County about four years ago.  I  
have only just this year finally gotten the rest of my circumstances  
under control enough to get back  to birding regularly, so expect to  
hear more from me.  I'm on 38 acres of old fields, brush,  and woods  
in the heart of the Western Highland Rim, about one mile east of the  
Perry County Line and 5 miles west of Hohenwald .  I've heard  
botanists comment that the Western Highland Rim is an  
underappreciated and understudied area for botanical diversity, and  
it seems that the same might apply for birds too.  I seem to be in a  
bit of a migrant trap on this little farm, if I can judge from the 30  
species of warblers I've seen here in the last 5 weeks, and that is  
without Pine or Orange-crowned Warblers.  Never thought I'd have a  
"yard" list of 134 species (and counting) without living on the  
coast.  So, here I am; I'll keep y'all posted!
