Although this bird nests in Tennessee every year, their habitat is somewhat mercurial, and so they're precise locations are not necessarily known every summer. Right now, I know of no specific breeding locations that are accessible to the public. There are at least a half dozen or so birds nesting on the Tennessee side of Fort Campbell, but in a secure area. The most reliable areas in the past have been Hardin, Wayne and McNairy counties, so my recommendation would be to search for them there in clearcuts replanted in pine (2-3 years old) or in clearcuts adjacent to pine woods.
