Leaving the Cordova (Shelby County) library at 1:55 today, I was shocked to see
two juvenile Golden Eagles overhead. Previous reports bring the number of
Golden Eagles found in four West Tennessee counties since 16 Dec to an amazing
minimum of six, and likely, seven individuals. On December 16th, Scott
Somershoe had three (2 adults, one juvenile) at Hatchie NWR in Haywood County;
on December 20th, Mike Todd had a second year bird in Weakley County, and on
January 11th, a juvenile was recovered at Lower Hatchie NWR in Lauderdale
County and taken to the Mid-South Raptor Center. Unfortunately, that bird
subsequently died of lead toxicosis (Knox Martin). As Mike noted, one (or
three!) might turn up anywhere. Next?
