[TN-Bird] scissor-tail flycatchers in Christiana

Please excuse the delayed post--

On Saturday, October 13 (about 5 p.m.), my husband Travis and I saw 5 
Scissor-tailed Flycatchers in Christiana,  just south of Murfreesboro 
(Rutherford County).  This is about the same time of year that I've 
seen the flycatchers there for the past two years, but the most I've 
seen before at one time was 2.  I don't know how to tell the difference 
between male and female, or juvenile from adult, so, unfortunately, I 
can't give that information.

Were these likely to be a family group?

We first saw the birds in a maple tree at a residence located at the NW 
edge of the Christiana Middle School on Hwy 231.  All 5 birds 
eventually flew south toward the elementary school.
