The Henslow's Sparrows are back at Bridgestone/Firestone Wildlife Management
Area on the Cumberland Plateau in White County. I was there this morning
(April 22) and counted 14 singing birds and found two others that I took to
be females (one carrying food and the other was with a singing bird) among
the several hundred acres of high quality warm season native grasses. Also
there were 3 N. Bob-Whites calling and another flushed, 2 Sedge Wrens
singing from the tall grass, and a male and female N. Harrier present. Some
of the sparrows were heard and seen along Eastland Road from the easternmost
parking area (the one where the gate is about 100 yards from the road).
On the way there before dawn I heard 6 Whip-poor-wills (one also flushed
from the road) in western Cumberland County near the intersection of Flat
Rock Road and Flynn's Cove Road. The regenerating clearcuts here have been
reliable for them in previous years.
