HI Bettye, Funny that you should mention that you had never seen an eagle. The first one I ever saw was after I bought my house. It was in the tree across the street. I mentioned it to my then house mate and was told I was probably imaging things. However, many times since then I have looked up to see them flying over my house. But the BESTEST of all was this very morning as I was leaving to go to my carving class. I had just started down the hill from my home, there in the tree on the side of the road was an eagle! It was so close you could see it's eyes, the definition of the feathers, the line of the mouth in the beak! It was totally amazing! It looked like it was about 3 to 4 foot long and just plain huge. There was no place to pull off even though I had my camera in the seat next to me. It was an incredible start to my morning! By the way, it is not only illegal to shoot, shut up or otherwise, but it is even illegal to even pick up a dropped feather! Frankly I think feather collecting off of the ground is carrying things a bit far. If the eagle gifts you with a feather you are blessed.

The American Bald Eagle has enjoyed an enormous comeback in the state of Tennessee. They are beautiful....but just wait until you see an Osprey.
