Pardon the late posting. Friday evening we took the Blue Heron sunset cruise which leaves from the restaurant at the base of the bridge in Ashland City. We cruised toward Nashville. I guess we'd gone a mile or so past the large cross (which I was told is Louise Mandrell's property). I spotted a large black bird in the top of a large snag. It was obviously not a vulture, but I wasn't convinced until I saw the adult bald eagle perhaps 100 yards further along. After a couple minutes, we observed a second juvenile briefly sitting in the same snag. A nice addition to the sunset cruise which was a birthday celebration for a neighbor & her first eagle ever.
