 King Fisher1767 viewsSorry for the poor quality of the photo, it was taken several hundred yards from the royal subject.

Watched a pair of King fishers feeding and mating for quiet some time but, photographing them was very tough to do since they rarely sit still and were at such a distance.

The photo was taken on my recent trip to Middle Tennessee near Rock Island.

 Gangway!2443 viewsAfter being flushed by crew members RAT and Bol'dar, old Sneaky here, took an uncontrolled slide down to the bottom of Chestnut Falls, where I was, unfortunately, located.

After a short dance session both Oldalbatross and snake were fine.

 Slim1755 viewsIf slim had been on the freeway instead of a bike way he would be known as a sail snake.

(sail snake: a snake that has been repeatedly run over until flat and dried. Then you can pick it up and sail it like boomerang.)

Not to worry, Slim is living large in Virginia and having a fresh tourist everyday.

 Reflecting On Ugly2166 viewsIf being a Buzzard is not bad enough, they can see their reflection in the river.

Kind of makes one sick. Oh, they make daily appearances at Rock Island State Park, TN.

 Northern Rough Winged Swallow2468 viewsDue to the easy access of the nest I will not disclose it's location.

I believe this to be as identified but, if you know it to be another bird please, let me know.
