TN Bird,
Becky and I spent about 5 hours and 200+ miles yesterday checking on two of 
the Scissor-taile flycatcher spots.  First went to the Powells Crossorads 
area(nr jct of US 127 and East Valley Rd-also TN 283), but a 30 min vigil there 
from 11-11:30 am was not productive.  Going to South Pittsburg HS football 
stadium, we found 2 adults.  One was staying close to the light tower 
platform(mesh 
bottom) in the NE corner of the field, while another adult was feeding from 
the wires at the east end of the field.  I am glad Becky was along, becsause 
she 
saw the pertinent things, including one of the adults carrying off a fecal 
sac, as well as a fluttering appearance coming from the nest area-presumably 
from young.  I believe this is the spot described in email by Jerry Ingles 
dated 
19Jun, and found by Johnny Parks.  Thanks guys!  Stfc was a state bird for Bec 
and a year bird for me.
We did not have time to check the area also mentioned by Kevin Calhoun on the 
last Chattanooga RBA of another South Pittsburg location.

Good Birding,
