Bob Davis stopped by the nature center the other day. He reports seeing two adult bald eagles—perhaps a mated pair, perhaps even the pair that nest upstream on the French Broad or Holston rivers—soaring over Island Airport on Sunday, October 25. The airport that opened n 1930 is located within a mile of downtown Knoxville.
The eagles were at play, leisurely enjoying the afternoon. After awhile, they were joined by a couple of red-tailed hawks. Bob is a pilot, quite comfortable in the same sort of thermals that the birds of prey were taking advantage of that day.
