Betty and I have observed this nest just east of Barkley Dam since late January 
and there has been one on the nest and another one in a nearby tree everytime 
we have checked them.

The Ospreys have built a nest on the same steel electric pole just east of 
Barkley Dam where they nested last year and one is on the nest most of the time.

The water in the lakes is very high.  Water covers part of  old 62 between old 
Kuttawa and and where it runs into the present HIghway 62.  Neither one of the 
dams have any gates open so with all the rain they apparenty intend that the 
lakes will rise.

        The bald eagle nest below barkley dam had a mature bird sitting upon 
the side of the nest
        and another mature bird perched even higher in the nest tree.  Only had 
binoculars but a 
        scope might reveal more. bpb, can you or anyone else out there provide 
more info on the current status?
