Byrdstown, TN Pickett County 9/3/06 Today as I was driving back from church, within one half mile from my house an adult Bald Eagle flew up from a pond and right over my car and landed in a group of trees in a field. I stopped and watched it a few minutes then drove a few hundred yards to my niece's house and told her. She started walking back to see it as I drove slowly back and stopped. I eased the car door open to see it better and it flew just before she could see it. As I was apologizing another one flew out of the same tree before she could see it! As a seasoned birder I should have remembered to be still and after another apology I verbally kicked myself all the way home. Maybe I'm too seasoned!
