Victor and I spent the last two evenings searching for Damien Simbeck's
Hickman County Bachman's Sparrows.
June 14th and 15th, 2016.
So far no luck with the Bachman's, but here is a checklist from the same
clearcut where they were seen, with some photos of confusing juvenile Field
Sparrows and Towhees.
The Bachman's are extremely hard to locate, unless you just have good
luck like Damien did.
Good birding, Ruben Stoll, Centerville TN.
