Reelfoot St Park – Tiptonville TN – 31May18
We were out by 8am to go check out Levee Rd where there are Bald Eagle nests. We didn’t spot any but met Mike and Randie Bohannon. They had their camera set up on a nest with 2 10 week old eaglets. I took some pics but they were nowhere as good as theirs. So I downloaded a couple of theirs. Thanks kids. They gave us the history of this family and were very nice and informative. As we continued on, we did spot a juvenile eagle and got a pic. Now we continued on our journey around Reelfoot Lake. In the wildlife refuge there are 2 auto tour roads. First was the Long Point drive. It has an overlook at the beginning. At the end we stopped to look around. Now on to the Grassy Island tour. We drove to the end and there was a nice boardwalk with an observation tower. On our way back, there was a 1 mile hike with boardwalks and trails through the forest. Throughout our day we saw baby Bald Eagles, raccoon, turkey, turtles, multiple types of birds and, newly hatched baby frogs. Now it’s lunchtime so we stopped at the Boathouse in Samburg for lunch. We had a full day and were home by 2pm. Now a little reading, dinner and a couple cocktails.
