For those that do not know about Bogota WMA, I recently updated the site
page on the Tennessee's Watchable Wildlife web site. See the link below
for directions, info on habitats, and birds seen there. It is a hotspot in
eBird, although from looking at the info for Bogota in eBird, I'm the only
one who has entered data.
Bogota is good for a plethora of sparrows, Loggerhead Shrikes, Northern
Harriers and Short-eared Owls in winter. I would think that a LeConte's
Sparrow or two are out there in the grassy fields as well.

FYI - I've been slowly but surely working to flesh out, update, and improve
the site pages on the Watchable Wildlife web site. This is a work in
progress, but there's a few reasons I'm doing this. More on that later.
In addition, most of the locations on the Watchable Wildlife web site are
hot spots in eBird. I've been working to get new hot spots added,
locations more accurate, and merging my birding data from personal
locations to the appropriate hot spots. No excuse not to eBird!
Cheers,
Scott Somershoe
