The answer to the query I have posted a few times: yes, Bachman's  
Sparrows are still extant in clearcuts in the southwestern Highland  
Rim in middle TN.

Damien Simbeck (in the lead) and I looked in several recent clearcuts  
in northeastern Wayne County this morning (7/17/2010) using extensive  
song playback.  We saw two individual Bachman's Sparrows (one each in  
two different clearcuts), but heard no songs from the species.  It  
was a quiet morning for bird song in general, as is typical for mid- 
July in this region.  The spots we covered were in the general area  
between Waynesboro and the Natchez Trace Parkway.

Also, on the way home, I added another species to my list of likely  
Lewis County breeders -- a Song Sparrow singing at the corner of  
First and Oak in Hohenwald.  My first summer record for the species  
in the county, I have been long wondering when one would turn up.
