I saw this white-tailed deer wandering around the cattails on the edge of Lake Marsden at the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area tonight. She saw me too.

I also saw a swan chasing a goose, which I always love to see.

And there was a pretty nice sunset too:

I only made a few photos today at the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area. This osprey flew over after about an hour and a half of nothing.

Today at the TCAAP WVA, I Saw Raccoons in a Tree

I saw a dark blob on this lone tree in the middle of marsh. Once I trained the camera on it, I discovered it was two raccoons climbing around on it. It's super far away, maybe 500 yards, and it was quite dark. Not a fine art quality photo but this site was new to me at the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area so I captured it.

Here is a 16 second HD video of their antics.

Today at the TCAAP WVA, I Saw a Yellow-rumped Warbler

I've been seeing a number of yellow-rumped warblers at the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area lately. Tonight was the first time any of them came close enough to get a decent shot. The shot on the right is cropped a little and my shutter just wasn't high enough to freeze the bird as it reached for a bug.

I also saw an osprey with a fish, a sun pillar, a chipping sparrow, a mourning dove and a great egret.

Saturday morning in addition to seeing an eagle catch a fish, I saw lots of chickadees at the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area. Black-capped chickadees are my favorite birds. They are so fun to watch and they make great sounds.

Here are a few of my favorites from the day.
