Highway 231 South of Christiana Elementary School and Christmas Creek Bridge Rutherford Co., TN 15 Oct. 2005 10-10:30am Since I was already in Murfreesboro this Saturday morning for another reason, I decided to pop over to Highway 231 and look for Laura McCall's SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHERs. Her directions were excellent and after a few minutes I finally found both birds perhaps 50 yards south of the Christmas Creek bridge. The birds were perched in one of three cedar trees near the road. After a few minutes they flew across the highway and alighted in a large tree in a field with a small red barn. I enjoyed them sailing forth to flycatch a couple times, but they perhaps were not as active as they might have been earlier in the morning. They are always wonderful birds to watch. Thanks Laura. -- Frank Fekel Tennessee State University Center of Excellence in Information Systems 3500 John A.
