See Bald Eagles at Reelfoot Lake

Read ArticleArticle Source: The Nashville Tennessean

Plenty of people come for the most celebrated residents of Reelfoot Lake: the bald eagles that settle in for winter. They come here for the same reason many human visitors do — for the fishing. "It's an excellent place for them to feed," says Jerry Hall, a park ranger at the Visitor Center at the south end of the lake. Hall says a small flock of eagles lives here year-round; during winter about 200 bald eagles stay at Reelfoot Lake until the weather warms up, he says.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Just saw this in our local paper. I hadn't realized we had such a large group of bald eagles.

I went to a place called Squaw Creek Refuge in northern Missouri, one January day and saw at least 200 eagles over the lake and perched in trees. Truly an amazing sight!
