Sylvia, and others,
About 3 years ago Terry Witt reported the location of a pair of
Bewick's Wrens in Wilson County to Tn-Bird. I went and saw a single
bird there on 2 occasions. It was in a yard in a very
rural/agricultural area. A nine year-old girl saw me lurking about
with binoculars and asked "are you here to see that bird?" and
showed me the spot.
There is (or was?) a subspecies of Bewick's Wren that is restricted
to the Southern Appalachians. I have no idea if birds in middle
Tennessee would be that sub-species, but I would think not. I'm
guessing it would probably be worth banding this species. And if
anyone ever finds one dead, please get it to an ornithologist who has
a salvage permit (most do) so the date, location, etc can be
preserved with the bird. It is a species of concern in Tennessee.
