Eagle

Occasionally when flying near the Tennessee River we'll see these guys. This particular day we flew with 4 baldies in two different thermals about an hour apart. Hard to miss that bright white head and tail. I first noticed this one when it was about 2000' below us. It came through us in that thermal like a freight train and kept right on going all the way into the cloud until it disappeared. We have several resident pairs in the area, or it could be a transient from Florida making their way back south as winter approaches. Photo taken 10-14-13 by Susan Lawton
