[TN-Bird] ST Flycatchers, Lark Sparrow, Bewick's Wren

I went out yesterday to Lytle Creek Road (off Dilton Mankin Road on the 
DeLorme) and was able to relocate 2 Scissortail Flycatchers, which are 
undoubtedly nesting in the area.  One was at 3310 and one at 3410.  They like 
to sit on the wires, and if not seen on the first pass, a return look might be 
successful.  

One singing Lark Sparrow (male?)  was seen in the large field at the junction 
of Patterson Hill Road with Rocky Hill Road in N Rutherford County.  It was in 
the large tree on PH Road, and the birds are likely nesting somewhere in the 
field on the ground.   

I was unsuccessful in relocating the Bewick's Wren pair on Alsup Mill Road.  I 
did run into the farm owner (1133) and he was familiar with the birds and told 
me they had nested in an old outhouse behind his home.  The locals call them 
"Ginny Wrens" short for Virginia Wren, but this pair seems to be gone.  Could 
it be a predator (cat?),  I can't believe they would have left without some 
disaster.  If I relocate them or another pair I will post, this bird seems to 
be on the way out around here.
