Chris, James, and others,
Great Smoky Mountains National Park has past records of Red-cockaded
Woodpeckers along the rugged, minimally-used western edge. Though
those are gone, Bachman's Sparrows (BASP) use the same type of
habitat, and are in fact a bit more open to change. Because of this,
some folks in the park believe there is a possibility of BASP being
in the park. I've been asked to go out and look, but have not had a
chance this year. It's getting late enough that a search might not
turn them up even if they are here, but next time you are in the area
between Cades Cove and the Foothill Parkway, keep an eye and ear open
whenever you're around pines. Remember that this is a species that
is pretty durn quiet within a couple hours after first light. Also
keep in mind that it is against park rules to use calls (such as from
a tape player) to illicit a response from any animal including birds,
without a permit.
The park has recently burned the former location of RCW colonies and
is monitoring the area for any developments with this or other
species. The new park designation is the "Tabcat Burn Area"
