All,
Jonnie Sue Lyons wanted me to pass along that 2 chicks have fledged from the 
eagle nest on Canyon rd in Marion Co.  A pair of birds have nested in this area 
for many years and evidently started very early this year.  The first chick 
fledged on Apr 14th, which the other chick on the 15th.  

As far as I know, this is the second earliest fledging of eagle chicks in 
Tennessee.  A nest in Cheatham Co. fledged 2 chicks on 5 Apr 2010, which is 
REALLY early!

Many thanks to Jonnie Sue for watching this nest so closely!  She spent a lot 
of time watching these birds and learning about everything eagles do! 

Great birding!
Scott Somershoe
