Many people love to be on the Elk River Trail and Elk River Water Trail and often share their photos with us. This month we received these stunning bald eagle photos from Byron Young while he was on the Elk River in September. He said these photos were taken in the Mink Shoals area.

Byron Young is a woodturning artist and exhibits his work at Tamarack. He also teaches woodturning classes at Cedar Lakes in Ripley. In his spare time he is an amateur wildlife photographer and captures some amazing photos. He graduated from Sissonville High School and is a retired veteran from the United States Air Force.
