Greetings,
My wife Nancy and I stayed one night in Jackson, TN on the way back to PA
from the Southwest. At 8 AM we entered the boardwalk at Cedar Grove Nature
Park.
It was not long before we encountered tall well made wooden cages containing
Bald Eagle, Golden Eagle, Great Horned Owl and 2 phases of Red-tailed Hawks.
This was quite a surprise. The raptors appeared healthy and stared at us
calmly.
We were wondering if these were rehab birds or if not how did they get there?
We never saw a soul while birding the boardwalk. The raptors and their cages
certainly piqued our interest, and if someone would e-mail us the story we
would appreciate it.
Thank you and good birding,
