Reelfoot Wildlife
Thursday, January 06, 2011As you can guess by my lack of blogging this week, Christmas Break is over and we’re back at school/work. But before life got back to being busy busy, hubby & I took a day for ourselves, visiting relatives and ending our day at Reelfoot Lake to catch a good catfish dinner at Boyette’s and a nice sunset. Of course there was plenty of wildlife around, although most of it was too far away for even my super-zoom.
The lake was cold but beautiful.
Ring-Billed Gull in Flight
Hundreds of Ring-Billed Gulls migrate to the lake every Winter
…along with hundreds of Canada Geese
Seeing this Barred Owl was a treat! He was lucky he didn’t get hit because he was sitting right beside the road until we drove by and turned around, then he perched along the railroad tracks, looking for a late afternoon meal.
Pretty nice end to a gorgeous day!
