It may come as a surprise to some that the Bald Eagle local breeding 
population has taken off so dramatically this year in Northeast Tennessee.
The 13 eagles counted on the Elizabethton five-county spring bird count for
Carter, Sullivan, Unicoi, Johnson and Washington counties reflect eagles
nesting in every county.  This is a first !

The newest and most exciting is  a Bald Eagle nest in Johnson
County.  It has not been made public on any list serve because it is on
private land and the owners do not want disturbance.  

The sweep of eagle nest in the region came earlier this month when 
Scott Somershoe received a report, location and the photo shown above 
of the Johnson County nest.
This year active eagle's nest have been reported in the following:

Carter --  Brookie Potter 

Johnson -- Scott Somershoe

Sullivan -- Wallace Coffey

Unicoi -- Joe McGuiness

Washington -- Rick Knight

Hawkins -- Susan Hubley 

Hancock -- Jennifer Meade
