Out of curiosity, I looked down the TN official list and found only 9  
species on it that I don't have for the ABA area:

Barnacle Goose
Masked Duck
Yellow Rail
Red-necked Stint
Sharp-tailed Sandpiper
Ivory Gull
Variegated Flycatcher
Sprague's Pipit
Smith's Longspur

Of those, only three (the rail, pipit, and longspur) are regular  
birds anywhere within a days drive of here.  Pretty slim pickins...   
But on the other hand, there are 46 species listed as "Regular" I  
don't yet have on my TN list, including such easy ones as both  
bitterns, all rails, and many common shorebirds.  So I have plenty of  
State tickies to look forward to in the next few years by just making  
trips to good habitat at good times of year without any special  
chasing.  Looks like Memphis and Standifer Gap should both be on my  
itinerary for this spring!
