the eagles are courting





Thirty years ago, this post would not have been possible. But due to the efforts of TVA, TWRA and Bob Hatcher, and the American Eagle Foundation in Pigeon Forge, there have been several bald eagle sightings in the Tennessee Valley the past few weeks. 

Jennifer Roder and her family saw one flying over downtown Sevierville and in the past week, I have received photos from Barbara Brauch taken in Tellico Village and yesterday from Linda Knott taken near her home in Philadelphia, Tennessee. 

Both Brauch and Knott saw two eagles together but this is courtship season and that is what you would expect...and with luck, more eaglets. 

Thanks, Jennifer, Barbara and Linda!
