----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Tony King <tonykingbird@xxxxxxxxx> To: tnbird@xxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sun, March 20, 2011 5:14:52 PM Subject: Lenoir City Bald Eagles For the sixth year in a row this Eagle pair have produced two eaglets.Steve Perry and I viewed the nest from the bluff above the nest tree. We witnessed two very active eaglets ,in grey plumage,moving all over the nest. Huge yellow feet were evident. They were panting while bathed in bright sunshine: on one of our hottest spring days yet.Meanwhile mother was flying over the river getting exercise I observed different posture in the sitting eagles on February 27 ,2011 so concluded that was the eaglet's hatching date. Their grey feathers should change to brown color around April 5.Stay tuned. Too bad we don't have an Eagle Cam! During the past two days I have seen two of the four Loggerhead Shrikes in this area . The one on Hwy 321 near the Blount/Loudon County line is the most reliable sighting, with 6.00 P.M being the fovored time.
