South Holston Dam, Sullivan Co., TN


Bald Eagle - 6    (2 adults & 4 immatures)

These were all seen together, suggesting that they may be a family group.
One of the young was feeding on & mantling over a fish while the other 3 young
peered at it from 5-10 yards away, as the 2 adults circled low overhead.

Also present:
Ring-billed Gull - 5
Herring Gull - 1
Am. Wigeon - 4    (at the weir)
Great Egret - 2    (at Middlebrook L., in Bristol)
