At 1115 I had a Peregrine falcon lazily circling over the fields near the
bridge on hyatt Lane in Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountians NP. I watched it for
about 5 minutes then watched crows mobbing a red-shoulder hawk and then saw an
adult Bald eagle gliding over the Cove. It was only the second time to see a
Peregrine and Bald eagle in my 6+ years of volunteering in Cades Cove.
There was pretty good migratory activity in the trees along Sparks Lane.
