A Gray Hairstreak butterfly
Not the one from the previous photo, but another one spotted on the same hike.
Fiery Skipper

Mallard
American Coot
Canada Goose

Interesting #RollingShutter effect on this #butterfly’s wings as they moved too fast for the camera’s sensor. Probably a #GrayHairstreak.
Snowy Egret
One of about a dozen egrets I saw when I got to the last remaining ponds at the marsh toward the end of summer.
