["Ann Morgan" <marianandann@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We recently learned that a pair of Bald Eagles have built a new nest in Hopkins 
County.  We located their nest the day after we were told about it, but late 
yesterday was our first successful attempt to "catch them at home."  Both 
adults were in a tree about 50 yards south of the nest and we were able to get 
pictures.  The nest is located at the back of a small grove of trees about 200 
yards from heavily traveled Rose Creek Road and less than a mile's flight from 
Lake Peewee.  Their presence was mentioned in a neighborhood column in the 
weekly Pennyrile Plus section of our local paper.  I have been told that there 
are a number of people stopping along the side of the road to look and we are 
somewhat concerned about their safety and whether or not they will feel secure 
enough to go ahead and use the nest.
