**TOS Fall Meeting and Symposium -- Oct 12-14, 2012**
This morning I got to see one of the Scissor-tailed flycatchers reported by
Tony Lance in Springfield TN. At 9:45 AM the bird was on a low willow tree
just at the Bridge where Carr Creek passes under Batson Blvd. It flew toward
Kumar Blvd and up the hill between Batson and Kumar. I went up Kumar and
found it again perched low on a fence wire. Though Kumar has a regular
street sign, it dead ends at a house where there is a wide turn around. From
there the bird flew down the hill and toward the bridge again.
Thanks to Tony for finding this bird so close to my home!

2 1/2 weeks ago, today I saw not one but two birds. One was in the same
exact area as before, across the road from the entrance to Highland Crest
College; the other was maybe a quarter-mile away perched on a fence
alongside Batson Blvd. Having had three sightings over the span of a month,
and now having confirmed that two birds are present, I'm wondering if
perhaps they nested or attempted to nest.

good looks before it flew out into the field and landed on a fence. I
suspect this bird has been in that area for a while because about two weeks
ago at nearly the same spot I got a very brief glimpse of what I thought was
a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, but when I turned around and came back to look
for it I couldn't find it, so I figured I had been mistaken. This is my
first sighting of this species here in Robertson County.
