[TN-Bird] Golden Eagle and Barred Owl - Johnson Co. TN

I thought birders would be interested in two observations Lorrie Shumate and 
John Shumate  made yesterday, Sun. Jan. 30, as they returned from Mountain City 
heading north on U.S. 421 to Shady Valley in Johnson County, TN.  There was 
about 4"inches of snow on the ground.
About one mile from the top of Iron Mountain on the Mountain City side of the 
ridge there was a Barred Owl sitting on a limb over the road.  

As they traveled on up the mountain about a half-a-mile from the top of Iron 
Mountain at the sharp turn back (still on the Mountain City side) there was a 
Golden Eagle feeding on a deer carcass beside the road. They had great looks at 
both birds.

Let's go birding.......
