Stones River Greenway, south from Cason Trailhead
Rutherford County

I think I've found a new hotspot for birds in the Murfreesboro area. I had
never birded here before and was quite surprised at what I was able to find.
Attached is my eBird list with notes. In addition to what's listed below, I
also saw a pair of unidentified swallows winging their way south (oddly
enough), but they were moving too fast and were nothing but silhouettes against
the gray sky. Probably Rough-wings...

copulate with the female and trying to kill each other. At one point during an
especially violent mating attempt, all three birds were simultaneously
completely underwater.
