Not that kind of Eagles

Road trip 2/3

So, on Superbowl Sunday I hopped into a van with some cool people to go see some eagles (not that kind of Eagles). We hit the road semi-early, and a couple hours and three states later, we arrived at Reelfoot Lake- the only natural lake in Tennessee. After eating lunch and meeting a gorgeous Barred Owl named Shadow (I was dumb and forgot to take a picture of him), we boarded a bright yellow school bus and hit the road again to go find some eagles. I managed to photograph a few.



We also saw two or three snow geese.


Here are some Blurry Bigfoot Pictures of an eagle catching a fish (or something) pulling the carcass of a goose right out of the water:




My name is Blurryeagle and I care what you think.

The temperature dropped 20 degrees while we were there. It was VERY COLD.


Take a moment to appreciate these yellow lichens:


It was so windy that there were whitecaps out on the lake:


These pictures don't do it justice.


We saw lots of Cypress trees with Cypress knees.

Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum).


Swirly water.


We made it back to Memphis in time for the halftime concert.

It was a good weekend
(even if we didn't see any salamanders).
