I was hoping to find some good raptors in the large Warm Season Native Grass 
fields at Bridgestone-Firestone Centennial Wilderness Area/WMA, White Co., 
this afternoon (Friday, Feb. 19, 2010). No such luck, but I did find an 
American Tree Sparrow among a small flock of Field Sparrows, and a male 
Brewer's Blackbird.

This area is on the Cumberland Plateau along Eastland Road in eastern White 
County.
