I live in southeast Tn. We have many lakes in my area & the Tennessee river. We have many hawks here & a few eagles. Across the street from my work is a tall cell tower. I have seen as many as 20 hawks sitting at the top of the tower. The most beautiful thing to see is when they take off from the tower. One by one, they open their wings & sail from the tower as if it had been choreographed!!! It takes my breath away! It amazes me how they so easily can hover in the updrafts without moving their wings. BEAUTIFUL : ) There's a golf course nearby. There's a family of Bald Eagles living in a tall tree on the course. They have a web cam in the tree so people can watch. One day I pulled it up & they had a rabbit in their nest & young chicks also! Isn't nature grand!
