I conducted the Collinwood, TN BBS Friday morning, and had an interesting list 
this year.  The highlight was a singing Bachman's Sparrow along California 
Branch Road, just east of the intersection with Railroad Bed-Iron City Road 
(Delorme p. 19, C5).  The route begins on Railroad Bed-Iron City Road and 
Thompson Hollow Road intersection, and the first few stops are in recent clear 
cut areas.  After turning on California Branch Road, the clear-cutting 
activities pick up again just east of a few small farms.  This entire area has 
lots of Bachman's habitat, but I only had a singing bird at one stop.  Other 
highlights for the morning included Wood Duck at one stop, Broad-winged Hawk at 
one, Cooper's Hawk at THREE!, and Scarlet Tanagers outnumbering Summers.
