Sorry for the delayed posting.

I met Steven Zipperer on Friday Nov 21 on Buncombe Road in hopes of seeing an 
eagle.  Also present was one of the local landowners who was very interested in 
what we were doing and also very helpful.  He was aware of the eagles and had 
seen them on a somewhat regular basis.

It was a nice sunny day with a good number of soaring birds, mostly Turkey 
Vultures, with a few Black Vultures and RT hawks present as well.  Over several 
hours, we had no luck.

The GPS coordinates in Scott Somershoe's recent e-mail did not correlate with 
the site using my GPS, but we felt sure we were in the right place.  The number 
on the mailbox across from a large field which features a greenish barn full of 
pigeons is 2716.  

If anyone has any luck, I am up for another try.
Apparently eagles have been wintering here for some time.

Cheers
