This morning I did some birding in the Lebanon, Elk Garden, and Clifton Farms Road area of Russell County. Highlights included: Bald Eagle - Clifton Farms. It was a basic III transition immature. It had a mostly white head with a dark knape and an Osprey like eye stripe and the tail was mottled white. It was perched in a dead tree just past the Kents Ridge Road intersection.
