eagle spotting




Bob Davis, a pilot that flies out of Island Airport located within a mile of downtown Knoxville, reported seeing a bald eagle recently.

Bob e-mailed, "Today, while towing the two-seat glider over Williams Golf Course [east of the city], I flew by one mature bald eagle that was soaring under the clouds."

Today around 6 P.M. Lynne and a friend spotted a pair of ospreys flying over Downtown Island Airport next to Ijams. Could these be the pair that has a nest on the railroad bridge just downstream of the Henley Street Bridge?

yes, probably, but keep an eye out, there may be another nest site somewhere downstream from the RR bridge at the mouth of the Holston.

let me know if you see something.
