[TN-Bird] Broad-winged Hawk, Giles Co

While crawling in construction traffic on I-65 in Giles Co this
morning, my wife and I spotted a funny flapping raptor. I had time to
dig out the binocs and got a nice look at the broad-winged hawk! Just
one bird circling north.
Earlier this morning I saw my first barn swallow of the year on I-840
in Rutherford co.
Good slow traffic birding,
Scott Somershoe
