We have a report that the upper Holston River area has its first BALD EAGLE nest underway at Kingsport, TN. It contains two young and is located on Clay Island just over in Hawkins County, TN The nest is in a highly-secured area of what has been known as the Holston Army Ammunition Plant. There is no access and it cannot be seen from a public road. Many Bristol Bird Club members will recall a field trip we arranged with the government one year to take ammunition plant vans down to Clay Island where we observed the region's first know Great Blue Herony nesting colony with many Double-crested Cormorants. Let's go birding......
