Red Kangaroo Boxing

I saw two of our Nashville Zoo male Red Kangaroos "Boxing" today.

Young males do this to establish dominance by knocking the other over.

The one who eventually is dominant will have the females.

After a few minutes, they went back to eating grass.

Clover Overtaking Mustard Flowers

My last two bike trips on the Greenway have been only to the Shelby Bottoms Nature Center, but I have noticed all along the greenway that clover has suddenly appeared and becoming dominant over the yellow flowers of last week. Plus it was fun to find one little patch of Red Clover near the skatepark in Two Rivers Park. Maybe I'll get a photo of them Wednesday when I hope to go all the way to downtown Nashville which gives me 23 miles instead of the 16 ridden today. It is so good to have a nature-filled greenway to bike on!

Nature on my Adventures Blog

Wednesday morning I rode my bike to Farmers' Market north of downtown Nashville for lunch and then back. On the way there I photographed this huge Pileated Woodpecker, Wild Tom Turkey with tail spread, and some wildflowers. Could have been posted here on Nature Notes just as well. See the photos at:

My Adventures Blog often includes nature, so consider following it as well as this one.

Bears - The Movie

Saw this delightful Disney Nature film Bears this afternoon and it is so very well done! I recommend it for all nature lovers and both wildlife and landscape photographers for the gorgeous Alaskan landscape shots and intimate and natural animal photography, including a lot of other animals beyond the bear family followed for a year.

It's Green Now! Spring is Here!

My Backyard

Violets & Forsythia!

Spring is in my backyard even if it did freeze last night.

Stones River Greenway Biking

I biked 10 miles on the Stones River Greenway yesterday and had a ball! Spring is here as shown by this scene in Two Rivers Park along the greenway. I went as far as Shelby Bottoms this trip and just might go all the way to downtown Nashville next time or the time after that.
