Dale Hollow Eagle Watching
 When it comes to the land of the free and the home of the brave... there’s no greater symbol than the American eagle. Making their home all across Tennessee, some eagles stay just for the winter, others year-round. Spreading their long wings and gliding through the sky, eagles attract visitors from across the nation. Just a glimpse of these magnificent creatures can be an inspirational and emotional experience. Wild Side Photojournalist Barry Cross takes us along on an eagle-watching trip to Dale Hollow Lake.
