Riverport Road, Memphis TN December 31, 2006 Sunday around 4pm. Today we saw an adult Bald Eagle trying to eat dinner at the TVA Lake ( tailing pond ) off of Riverport Road in Shelby County, TN. The Bald Eagle swooped several times at ducks in the water, then perched on a tree limb on the east side of the tailing pond. The Bald Eagle stayed there for about twenty minutes, then flew south toward the Pits. We did not see him after that. In previous years, we had seen Bald Eagles ( plenty ) at Reelfoot Lake. And also some nesting in the Wapanocca WMA, just across the Mississippi River in Arkansas. But this adult Bald Eagle was our first for Shelby County. He was very large. We were stoked.
