Buchanan, Tenn.–Paris Landing State Park Interpretive Ranger Amy O’Brien releases a Sharp Shinned Hawk this morning before a large crowd at the National Honey Bee Day event. O’Brien said the hawk was hit by a car about two weeks ago and had suffered a concussion, but after spending time at the Paris Landing raptor rehab program, he was ready to be released back to the wild.
In second photo, James Hinton shares some of his knowledge of honey bees for visitors to the event. Hinton is the vice president of the Kentucky Lake Beekeepers Association. Other members of the Beekeepers were on hand for the event, which also included a wildflower hike and arts and crafts.
