Sylvia, When I lived on a farm in south-east Davidson county Bewick's Wren was a resident, breeding species. This was in the extreme corner of the county with Rutheford county line the south border of the farm and Williamson county the west border. (We called this area L.A.-Lower Antioch.) They disapeared form there the year before I left (2001.) Before that I had recorded them, at least a sighting or two, every month of the year. I had seen them under the suit feeder gleaning fallen morsels in winter months. There are still a few Bewick's around Rutheford and Sumner county, but they are a rare sighting elsewhere in middle Tennessee. I did have one singing around my yard for a couple of days in suburban south-east Davidson county in March 2003.
