Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge – Big Sandy Unit

This past Saturday I met up with a few local photographers again and headed out to the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge near Big Sandy or Paris, Tennessee

It was a beautiful day and we saw a few bald eagles. They were out of the range of my 70-200 but still awesome to see!

The lead shot is one of the views we saw, looking out at the Kentucky Lake

Other shots from the day:

I thought this was so cool, the colors that showed up on the web were amazing!

I had never seen an armadillo before, there were TONS of them there!

This Week at the Lake – 36/52

So here’s a first for my Radnor Lake project! I was at the lake for the sunrise last Saturday and I actually saw 3 beavers swimming around near the shore. I watched one of them eat, then I took this shot of one that swam close to me. I think that’s when they realized I was there because the started swimming in circles and hitting their tails on the water.

I got a few other shots early that morning:

After that, I met up with a few people from the Nashville Photography Meetup Group as well as a few people I met in the Radnor Lake Group on flickr. Half way around the lake, we had a Red Tailed hawk fly right by us! He landed in a tree a ways away. When we caught up to him, he took off chasing a bird:
This is the best I could get this time. Before this project is through I’m going to get a good shot of one of these hawks…

I little while later, we spotted this barred owl:

(Thanks to Scott, aka Mugmar for the extra reach on this shot. He let me borrow his 100-400 for a few minutes)

Other shots from later in the week:

And that’s it for the week!
