Wallace -
You are correct on the location. (The approximate coordinates for the
viewing location are 36° 34' 18.44" N, 82° 58' 30.51" W). This nest is within
maybe 200 yards of where Bill Grigsby and I photographed a solitary Bald Eagle
last year. My uninformed guess would be that those gigantic "babies" are surely
going to be evicted soon - if either of them sets up housekeeping just a short
distance up the Clinch they will be in Virginia, or it is just a hop, skip and
a jump over to the Powell River. . . . . .

Wayne,
That Bald Eagle's nest is less than one mile from the Virginia state line.
Just imagine: Southwest Virginia's first
ever Bald Eagle's nest. Amazing ! I'll bet you money there is an Osprey
nest in Southwest Virginia. Where could
it be?????
Let's go looking......

The Bald Eagles on the Clinch River in Hancock County now have two nearly
grown young. I got a good look at them today through a spotting scope - they
are huge. One climbed out of the nest onto a limb and gave his wings a good
work out. I may have one or more photos of them in a few days.
The adults were not seen today.
The nest may be easily viewed from Hortons Ford Road, approximately 4 to
5 miles upriver from the Kyles Ford Bridge. The nest is across the river from
the road and is very visible.
