Hey Skipper
A Little Orange Skipper sampling the summer buffet of flowers. First on the clover and then on the milkweed as the late afternoon sun begins to turn the clock on another beautiful day.
Snowy Egrets
With a slight breeze blowing her feathers a Snow Egret relaxes on a log while her partner hunts in the background. This was quite an unusual day on our morning walk as we saw a total of eight Egrets on the small lake we frequent. On a typical day we see no more than a pair and even that is an infrequent event. Anyway these two were the stars of the show that morning and the only ones which let us get into nice photo range.

Blue Jay Day
Today just feels like a Blue Jay day.
On our morning walks we have been hearing these guys noisily calling to each other in the woods for several week. This day we got the pleasure of meeting one our local Jays as he landed right in front of us as we walked down the path through our small woodland area.
A Blue Jay day is a fine way to start the week indeed.

Ribbit
Frog in the local pond giving us a look over. He was probably relieved to see we were not one of the Herons hanging out around the shore looking for a meal.
Hunting Heron
Ever so patient a Black Crowned Night Heron works the waters on a summer afternoon.
