Welcome to Today at the AHATS Wildlife Observation Area (formerly TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area.) I've been visiting this small park regularly since 2008. This is a log of all the wildlife and nature I experience nearly every day.
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.
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.
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.
