I've been rather suprised twice now with the casual reporting of
Bell's Vireo sightings in Tennessee. This is an extremely rare
species in TN and it is on the TBRC Review List. Robinson lists only
6 state records of the species. Since then there have been maybe
another half dozen reports including a pair that nested around
Reelfoot Lake for a few years in the early 2000s and a report from
Fort Campbell in 2003. To put it perspective, TN has a similar number
of records of Snowy Owl and Bell's Vireo. All reports of Bell's Vireo
should be well-documented and submitted to the TBRC.
