["Wallace Coffey" <jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We have a report that the region's first BALD EAGLE nest is underway at 
Kingsport, TN.   It contains two young and is located on Clay Island in the 
Holston River just over in Hawkins County, TN
The nest is in a highly secured area of what has been known as the Holston Army 
Ammunition Plant.   There is no access and it cannot be seen from a public 
road.  

Many Bristol Bird Club members will recall a field trip we arranged with the 
government one year to take ammunition plant vans down to Clay Island where we 
observed the region's first know Great Blue Herony nesting colony with many 
Double-crested Cormorants. 

Let's go birding......
