Today in Jacksboro, TN (Campbell County, N of Knoxville) behind the
National Guard Armory on Industrial Parkway, I visited a spoil area-
weedy field that has been extrememly productive the last 4 yrs around
this date for Sparrow species. The one area has grown up quite a bit into
successional growth,
but the bulldozed areas behind the armory and new factory fields have
good habitat that is very favorable. Despite the wind,and at mid-day I
had the below. (Numbers
are approximate as there was so much movement from place to place with
the wind blowing etc.) This is only about a 1 acre area! It is aways
great!
18-20 WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW. As a tip, just do a White-Throated
Sparrow song in the right habitat, and White-Crowns always pop up for me
and start singing..
8-9 VESPER SPARROWS 5 were along the ground together in one spot
The others across the road in a cow pasture
7 SAVANNAH SPARROWS
3 Field Sparrows
Numerous Song Sparrows
6 Swamp Sparrows
