Margaret Mann called to advise that she saw an adult Golden Eagle today at about 3 p.m. as it flew upstream (north) on the Cumberland River, behind her home in the Opryland area of Nashville. As a long-time avid birder, she advised this is the third time over the years she has seen a Golden Eagle from her yard overlooking the river. She doesn't recall the time of year of the prior two sightings, but this one seems a little late for the more normal winter Golden Eagle migrants. As Margaret joked, its cold enough today (predicted 30 degrees tonight) for anybody, or any eagle, to think it is still winter. I would welcome a report of any other sighting(s).
