FreeLists / tn-bird / [TN-Bird] Bald Eagles on Friday

[Rachel Brenner <rabrenne@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting that they were seen Friday evening in the general area of 
Nashville....I was swimming late afternoon on Friday (in Nashville - Briley 
Pkwy./Airport area) so not only did I not have binoculars, I didn't even have 
my glasses on.  While doing the backstroke, I noticed a large bird soaring up 
very high.  It somehow did not look like a hawk or vulture - the shape just 
wasn't quite right - it looked different enough that I jumped out of the pool 
and ran to get my glasses.  By the time I did, it had moved far enough towards 
the treeline that I only got a quick look, but I thought I saw a white head.  
Of course, it's possible I only WANTED to see a white head - but it still 
didn't look quite right for either variety of vulture or a red-tailed hawk.

So...not a definite sighting by any means, but a possible bald eagle.  (And a 
pool full of people who are probably now questioning my sanity.)
