We are looking for Bald Eagle nests across Tennessee in 2011.  TWRA, in partner 
with other government agencies and private citizens, has been monitoring Bald 
Eagle nests across the state for many years; however there are gaps in our 
monitoring, nests locations have moved, and many new nests are appearing 
annually.  In 2011, we are aiming to conduct a complete inventory of eagle 
nests in the state and we need your help!  

The goal of the project is to document all active nesting locations in the 
state as part of a comprehensive nest monitoring program to estimate population 
size and growth (or decline) for the US Fish and Wildlife Service.  New eagle 
nests are showing up across the state, including one within the city limits of 
Franklin, and there are many other nests that may have been around for years 
that we do not have in our eagle nest database.  

I recognize there may be concerns about nests on private lands.  I am primarily 
interested in nest locations, whether the nests are active and, if possible, 
how many young are fledged.  If there are concerns about letting us know about 
certain nests, please feel free to contact me and we will discuss the concerns. 
 

If you know of any Bald Eagle nests or have questions, please contact me at 
615-781-6653 or scott.somershoe@xxxxxx 

Many thanks!
