Photos from Edwin Warner Park


Last updated 12/13/2005

These photos were taken in Edwin Warner Park, Nashville, Tennessee. The park is not far from our home and my wife, Pam, and I walk our 4 mile course there several times a week. There is always something interesting to see or hear, as the woods is home to a wide variety of critters.

I started carrying my camera with me early in 2004, when I started seeing Barred Owls on a regular basis. I soon found a nesting pair and recorded the process as they raised two baby owls. Links to the series are below.

There are also Red-tailed Hawks, Blue Birds, Indigo Buntings, butterflies, skinks and snakes, as well as a wide variety of wildflowers. I will be adding to this site so please check back on occasion.

Just click the links, below the thumbnail photos, to be taken to the individual webpages.
