At about 7:30 AM today, I saw two loggerhead shrikes in a tree beside the 
K-Mart entrance nearest to the underpass of I-40 on Old Hickory Blvd, in the 
Charlotte Park area of West Nashville.  This is only a few blocks from the 
old Cleece's Ferry Landing for those who know the area.  This is the nearest 
in to the residential area that I have seen this species, so I think they may 
have been migrating or otherwise on the move.  I have been used to seeing 
them occasionally over on Bell's Bend and out Centennial Blvd. near John Tune 
Airport and around the open areas near the prisons.  The two birds I saw this 
morning were "making overtures" to each other and generally playing "chase" 
among the branches of the small tree they were inhabiting for the moment.
