At Melton Hill Park in west Knox County this morning I was feeling happy to 
have just seen my first fall Palm Warbler hunting with the bluebirds and 
phoebes from the fence along the entrance road.  Then I turned right at the 
fork to go out to the north boat ramp and was startled to see an adult Bald 
Eagle perched at the top of a small tree just to the left of the ramp.  I was 
pretty close, stopped the car and was just thinking about grabbing my camera on 
the seat beside me when the darned eagle read my mind and left.  It was a 
beautiful day at the park, lots of birds but not a lot of warblers though I did 
also find a Magnolia.
