Clyde Austin 4-H Center
Greeneville, TN
D. Holt
Near 11 am this morning I drove into the 4-H Center and directly beneath a
very large, dark, low-flying raptor, which my usually slow brain told me was
not a Turkey Vulture! I parked and jumped out of the car and watched it as it
flew to the hill behind the canoe pond and circled a few times before leaving.
Its wingbeats were very smooth, slow and shallow. It glided steadily with a
slight dihedral. Its head was feathered, but relatively small. There were no
white markings visible beneath. The trailing edge of the wing was not even,
showing a "bulge" at the secondaries.
This is the first Golden Eagle I have seen at the Clyde Austin 4-H Center,
where I seem to get my best birds while I'm standing in the parking lot!
