Clyde Austin 4-H Center

Late this morning, some of Ms. Holly Johnson’s fifth grade class from
Mountain View Elementary School in Johnson City, TN were on a nature walk with
me learning to use binoculars. They saw many things, but the best sighting of
the day came when they spotted an adult Bald Eagle, which soared for several
minutes over the 4-H Center in full sunlight, affording a good view to all with
binoculars, and to some others without binoculars that were canoeing nearby.
The following is the list of animals observed by various groups of
children and myself throughout the day:
