Many thanks to Bob Hatcher, Retired Coordinator (2001); Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, for compiling this comprehensive list of Eagle Resources for the American Eagle Foundation. Sadly, Bob passed away July 22, 2014. We will miss his guidance and expertise in “all things eagle.”
