[TN-Bird] Where They Hawks?

I was driving west bound on I-40  last Tuesday at about noon and saw a 
large number of birds soaring in a circular fashion above the interstate. 
Looked like between 50 and 100 birds. I should have noted the mile marker 
but I didn't. It was between Cookeville and Carthage somewhere. I wasn't 
able to stop and check it out further so I am not sure what they were but I 
think I have heard of hawks gathering like this during migration. I did see 
one hawk sitting in a tree as I zoomed by but am unsure what it was but it 
seems to support that feeling that these were all hawks. I am sure they 
weren't vultures

Sound reasonable?
