[TN-Bird] Bewick's Wren, Henslow's Sparrow

The Bewick's Wren was seen this morning in Rutherford County at 5189 Lytle 
Creek Road (signed "Pampered Chef").  This is a bit down the road from prior 
sightings.
Bob Ingle and I then visited the large Henslow's Sparrow colony near Manchester.

Directions: Delorme page 22

Leave I-24 just south of Manchester at Exit#114, Hwy 41.  Proceed a short 
distance south and turn left on Asbury Road.  Several miles along, turn left on 
Hickerson Road.  Proceed through a large sod farm, and after a 90 degree right 
turn you are at the colony.  There is a sign here for Barrens WMA.  The colony 
extends for several hundred yards on both sides of the road, and there are many 
birds who are vocal and with patience can be seen from the road as they perch 
up on the small trees and shrubs.

Cheers
