The first Bald Eagle hatchling known to have hatched in
the region during the 2016 breeding season was at the
Bluff City seen at the nest. We had seen an egg present for a couple
of days and then the eaglet appeared today, 11 Mar 2016, at 6:45 a.m.
In the photo above, one of the parents is feeding it a tiny
morsel of food. Nancy McPeak named the eaglet "Rocky"
in honor of her congregation at nearby Rockhold United
Methodist Church.
