This Monday morning I made a brief stop at the Walter S. Davis Blvd
Marsh to scan for ducks and hoped for a migrating bittern.  This
small marsh is on the back side of the Tennessee State University
campus.  A few ducks, mostly BLUE-WINGED TEAL and a large group of
coots continue here.  As I was about to leave I scanned the skies
toward the nearby Cumberland River one more time and immediately
spotted an adult BALD EAGLE soaring toward me.  It was low enough
to spook a half dozen ducks but paid them no mind, continuing past
me and toward nearby I-40 and downtown. It certainly could have
been seen without binoculars by observant pedestrians and passing
motorists.
