[TN-Bird] Least Flycatcher in Rutherford County

While working on May 25, 2007 in Rutherford County, TN about six miles west 
of Murfreesboro in the area of Rockvale, I heard a Least Flycatcher singing. 
  It repeated the "chee-beck" song notes numerous times.  The Atlas of the 
Breeding Birds of Tennessee (Nicholson 1997) states, "Scattered, 
inconsistent summer reports have come from the northern Cumberlands since 
1970, but breeding has yet to be confirmed there."  I read no mention of the 
Central Basin of Tennessee, though the Atlas does show a possible nesting 
record for west Tennessee.  My bird was either a migrant or a territorial 
bird and potential nester.
