All,
I've updated the pages for the 5 goldens we are tracking.
http://www.tnwatchablewildlife.org/GoldenEagles.cfm

In the last couple weeks, we've had TWO different goldens over Davidson Co.
(one is a bird with an Alabama transmitter that also flew almost over my
office after leaving Warner Parks!). That's 3 different tracked goldens in
Davidson Co since last winter.  And no one sees goldens in Davidson Co.!
One of our birds flew over downtown Murfreesboro, Rutherford Co the other
day too.

Sand Rock wandered all over middle Tennessee from Franklin Co. (into NW
AL), to LBL and near Pace Point (but on the east side of the river and is
not one that Mike Todd and others have seen), then over Franklin and
Murfreesboro, to Center Hill Lake, and then went south along the Sequatchie
Valley. That was done in the last 3 weeks!

I'll try to get one more update posted on our Golden Eagles in a few weeks
before I move to Colorado to start a new job with the US Fish and Wildlife
Service.  I'm going to miss Tennessee and all the great folks (and birds!).

Cheers,
Scott Somershoe
