Priscilla Fontechia is a retired high school art teacher turned photographer. Her home on the shores of Lake Barkley provides a myriad of opportunities for the wildlife photography she so adores. Basically, the wildlife comes to her, including a skunk she has named Pepe le Pew who comes when called for the marshmallows she provides. She has documented over 50 species of birds in her yard including the Great Blue Heron and the Bald Eagle.
