Tue. (9-14) 0915-1300 Clinch Mtn overlook, US25 Grainger Co. TN Observers: (4) Ben, Phine, Orland Britton and Buela McGhee The birds were scattered through out the day, sounds pretty much like the Mendota season has gone. The largest kettle (8 BW and the sharpshin) occurred at noon. The sharpy dived on one of the broad-wings a couple of times to give us a great size comparison. The adult Bald Eagle came up right over the parking lot and gave us a great look, before he/she headed on down the ridge. I have included my e-bird report with some locals and migrants both. The empidonax gave us a few good looks with a strong eye-ring and wing bars, shorter wings, grayish head, yellowish sides. I would lean toward an Acadian, but it was "very, very, quiet".
