Unexpected Sighting 

As we were doing the driving tour of Fort Donelson we experienced an unexpected delight. American Bald Eagles!  Suddenly our focus was shifted from artillery to the cries and sight of two eagles in flight. One flew on and the other perched high overlooking the Cumberland River. We learned from a local photographer and others that it was an adult that had flown on and this was a juvenile, perhaps four months old. The white plumage signature of the Bald Eagle doesn’t develop until the bird is about three to five years old.  What a wonderful treat!
