Checking the weather radar this morning to watch the overnight  
migrants touch down, I saw several large roosts around Nashville  
erupting at dawn.  Some of their locations (you can't get exact  
locatons from the radar, especially farther from the base):

Williamson County: E of I-65 and Franklin, in the area of Clovercroft
Maury County: Just W of I-65, just S of Williamson Co. Line, E of  
Spring Hill, in the Kedron area.
Rutherford County:  Between Percy Priest and Murfreesboro
Sumner County: near Gallatin
Davidson County: near Nashville airport
Macon/Trousdale/Smith Cos: Very near the triple junction of these three

Anyone have any "ground truth" for these roosts?  Are they  
blackbirds, robins, starlings, waxwings, something else?
