  Richard,
  Thanks for the info about Bristol Bird Club tracking eagles!
  Here is the information from the siting at Chilhowie Elementary

  Location: 
  Chilhowie Elementary School
  , Chilhowie, Va
  seen in the  back yard and parent drop off loop along the Middle Fork of the 
Holston River
  Feb. 23, 2011
  The eagle was seen by several students and parents as they came to school  
between 8:00 and 8:30
  The eagle was in a tree near the river and then it dove into the river and 
came out with a fish in its talons....it put on quite a show! 
  around 8:30-8:45  I saw the eagle in the back yard of the school roosting in 
a tree by the river.  I took a class of Kindergarten students out to stalk the 
bird ...we were able to get fairly close until the train went by and he flew 
down the river toward Marion.
  I will attempt to send pictures later.

  Mary Beth Graham
