[TN-Bird] Dickcissels, goatsuckers, Nashville area, 6-17-09

I found at least 2 Dickcissels on Swinging Bridge Rd near Old Hickory Dam.  No 
luck with Bobolink.  Then my daughter and I went listening for 
Chuck-will's-widows at Long Hunter State Park (Barnett Rd) were Scott Somershoe 
had reported them and were surprised to hear a whip-poor-will (1 or 2).  I 
started to wonder if my ears were tricking me or Scott had made a clerical 
error when several chuck-will's-widows began calling (3-4).  We saw one fly but 
could not identify which species.  Driving between the 2 locations we heard and 
saw a couple nighthawks, making for a nice sweep of [expected] goatsuckers.  
Thanks to Scott for the tip.
