One of the winning entries for the 2023 Tennessee Wildlife magazine photo contest is a resident of Athens. Frank Snyder

submitted the photo below and it will

appear in the 2023 calendar. The winners were selected recently by staff members of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and the public. The staff and public selected photographs from a record number of submissions and had the challenge to narrow the entries to 13 photos that will appear in the new calendar. Snyder tells the Morning Fax that he took the photo of the Red-Headed Woodpeckers with a Cannon Camera using a 500 mm telephoto lens. Congratulations Frank!
