[TN-Bird] West TN: Lark Sparrow, Black Tern

Some quickie notes on a few of birds I encountered in west TN in the  
last two days:

Lark Sparrow:  One flushed up from the side of Highway 88 just east  
of Maury City in Crockett County yesterday (7/29/09).  Not a great  
look, but the tail shape and pattern were very well displayed when it  
flushed.  I suspect there are many still-undiscovered locations for  
this species in the Coastal Plain.

Black Tern: three at the Ed Davis Fish Farm north of Milan in Gibson  
County today (7/30/09), nice gorgeous alternate-plumage adults.  No  
shorebirds or unusual waders at this spot today.
