Hey birders:
About the eagle part of that last message.
Last night, Kevin Hamed and I were at a meeting
of a number of conservationists when Eddie Williams,
a prominent attorney and former legal advisor to
the governor of Tennessee on his staff in Nashville,
told me an interesting Bald Eagle story.
Seems as how he had spotted a Bald Eagle along
the South Fork of Holston River near his home upstream
from Bluff City. He went to get his binoculars.
He met a fisherman from Virginia who was looking
at the eagle.
Well, of course, you guess that! It was Ron Harrington
of Bristol who reported that bird right here on the
Bristol Birds area net. I was pleased to know who
that fisherman was when Williams couldn't think of
his name.
"Ron Harrington?" I suggested.
"That's right. That's who it was. How did you
come up with his name?" Williams said in amazement.
"I read it on the internet," :-)
He went on to say he had also met Glen Eller and
Rick Knight along the river while they were doing a
Christmas bird count.
Mercy.......big brother's watching!
