At the same location, my husband Travis and I spotted 3 Scissor-tails on our way back from Murfreesboro Sunday evening (9/13). The light wasn't great and the traffic was a little too heavy to turn around and pull over, so I can't say what sex they were or whether one or more were juveniles. But the three of them were hanging out on a power line right next to the school.
