[Dthomp2669@xxxxxxx]

Happy Fourth of July weekend TN-Birders,
 
Yesterday, as I got out of my car at the Shoney's on Hwy. 70 by the Regal  
Theater near I-40 in Bellevue, west of Nashville in Davidson County, I saw an  
adult bald eagle fly over headed in an ENE direction.  Looked as if it had  
prey in its talons, but I wasn't fast enough in getting my binoculars on it to  
make sure.
 
 After breakfast, around 9 AM, as I drove south on Hwy. 70 from the  Shoney's 
to get back onto I-40 to return to Nashville, there was a "roadkill"  
armadillo just at the start of the approach ramp off to I-40 East.   They are 
moving 
in!  In Florida, "roadkill" armadillo is about as common as  "roadkill" 
opossum is here, possibly more so.
 
Cheers and prayers,
 
Dee Thompson
Nashville, TN
