I'm going to have to retract my report of a Bewick's Wren in my yard.  
Many thanks for several helpful emails, especially Mike Roedel's.  When i began 
to get the picture that it would be pretty rare for a Bewick's to be hanging 
out and visiting my feeders, i researched them on the internet.  The most 
informative site was Kevin McGowan's; he's an ornithologist with Cornell's Lab 
of O:   http://birds.cornell.edu/crows/Wrentails.htm

One thing that made me wonder about this bird NOT being a Bewick's was that its 
tail is not long.  The more photos i saw of them at various websites, the more 
i saw that the longer tail really does stand out.  I also listened to my bird 
songs CD and to a couple internet examples, and i definitely have not heard 
that song in the neighborhood.

I've concluded that i have a dull/grayish Carolina.  And i've learned that the 
differentiation between the two is definitely more than just a matter of 
coloration!

Thanks again to the whole TN birding community!
