I located 15+ singing Henslow=92s sparrows and 2 Grasshopper sparrows yesterday
(April 10) here at Fort Campbell (Montgom=
ery cty, TN). This is the earliest date, over the last 4 years, that either of
these species has been detected returning=
from migration. The previous earliest return dates for HESP and GRSP were
April 18 and 19, respectively, in 2000.
I also located 2 singing Sedge wrens yesterday. I suspect that at least one of
these birds over-wintered. On December 5=
, 2001 I observed one wren not more than 150 yards from yesterdays sighting. I
also heard a Sedge wren on March 12, 2002=
near the December location. According to Robinson, these birds are
occasionally found in western and middle TN during t=
he winter. Would this qualify as a wintering bird based upon these sightings?
