Eagleville, TN Rutherford County 01-30-13 I went in search of birds following the storm that wreaked havoc on Eagleville, TN. I found tin roofs torn off barns and most of the pasture land is flooded. Shoemaker Rd is closed at the bridge because of creek overflow. Birds seen were rusties, black birds, starlings, kildeer, robins, red-tailed hawks, and kestrels feeding on whatever came out of the earth after the flood. Most notable was the lone Trumpeter Swan at the corner of Swamp and Shoemaker. The Hood Mergansers were back in the cow pond behind the barn at this site as well. I thought the Sandhill cranes would be gone. I couldn't view them after the creek bed. However, I saw two in flight heading in that direction and nine on the unmarked road between North and Shoemaker. Is Eagleville becoming the new Hiawasee? Marnie Mitchell Rutherford County
