[TN-Bird] Sprague's Pipits in Gibson County!

I tried to send this from work yesterday afternoon but apparently it did not go 
through (sorry!)...

Seedtick Rd., Gibson County  

I had two Sprague's Pipits on Seedtick Road in Gibson County yesterday.  They 
were in some short grass beside the road by some open fields.  Seedtick Road is 
located NNE of Yorkville between Baseline Road and Bells Chapel Road.  The area 
where the pipits were found was just east of the jct. with Brown Rd. along the 
gravel section of Seedtick Road.  I got out of the truck and noticed a couple 
of different call notes that I did not immediately recognize.  After I had 
taken about 2 steps the birds took flight and towered to several hundred feet 
and circled the open field to the north.  After a couple of minuted they landed 
in the open field and I was able to view them on the ground for a couple of 
minutes before they took flight again.  When I last saw them they were flying 
to the northeast.  I tried to relocate them along Kay Rd. to the NE but could 
not find them.  I came back to Seedtick Road later in the day and wa again 
unsuccessful at trying to relocate them.  

I'll try to check in that area again today to see if they can be found again.

Good birding,
