Andrew, and others with a similar question:
There are 2 books which, in my opinion, every serious birder in
Tennessee should try to get. One is the Breeding Bird Atlas, by
Chuck Nicholson. It will answer your question about Sedge Wrens, and
give you an excellent idea of what birds are expected in different
locations. I bought this book within a few months of moving to
Tennessee, and have found it extremely valuable, both for finding
birds, and for knowing which of my sightings were important. That
book is the result of 5 years of intense effort by many of the best
birders Tennessee has had to offer. Some folks spent many hundreds
of hours in the field specifically for this project. I believe that
UT Press has it online.
The other is the Robinson's Birds of Tennessee. I'm sorry I don't
recall the exact title, but TOS is selling copies right now. I was
unfortunately unaware of this book until about a year ago when I
bought it. I could have been a better birder had I known about it
sooner.
I also recommend getting the CD compilation of the TOS journal "The
Migrant" which just became available last month. It is great!
Good luck,
charlie
