Melton Lake, Oak Ridge, Anderson , TN.   Friday 13th Sept am

Highlight from the Greenway beside the lake this morning was an adult Bald Eagle chasing an Osprey which dropped its prey into the water. The eagle plunged in then seemed to struggle to get out, finally clambering onto a submerged branch.
Other birds included :
Osprey (possibly a second bird later)
Gt Blue Heron 4
DC Cormorant 21
Killdeer 2

The water level was slightly down, but the exposed mud revealed no birds.
