About 4:30 PM today, I was on the bridge that crosses Wilbur Lake in Carter County, TN and was treated to an overflight by a mature Bald Eagle. White head and tail were plainly visible with out binoculars. Great sight. Also, I found the following on a website for Rivergate Restoration Products in Soddy-Daisy, TN in response to the origin of the name of Soddy-Daisy. "Yes, Virginia, there really is a Soddy-Daisy. It is a small town just north of Chattanooga, TN. It lies between the foot of the mountain and Chickamauga Lake. It is the melding of two even smaller towns (Soddy and Daisy, of course). The name "Soddy" is thought to derive from the Cherokee Indian word "Tsati" which means "Homeplace". "Daisy" was the wife of an early coal miner."
