While out photographing birds, other interesting wildlife is occasionally (and unexpectedly) encountered.
Beaver (BRCES, Purcellville, VA)
I was photographing some Hairy Woodpeckers in the trees that border this pond when this beaver slapped his tail on the water right behind where I had set-up my tripod -- it sounded just like a gunshot and to say it startled me would be a mild understatement.
