June 21st. The first full day of Summer. Can anyone identify the bird that dropped this feather?

 

 

 

Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodius)...

 

...grooming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A very noisy Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis).

 

Canada Lily (Lilium canadense) in bud.

 

Eastern Ribbon Snake (Thannophis sauritus).

 

Likely the same one I saw in roughly the same spot recently.

 

Hop Clover (Trifolium agrarium).

 

At Cranberry Bog, lots of Canada Geese (Branta canadenssis) in the shade.

.

Three more washing up.

 

 

 

Sweet Peas (Lathyrus odoratus).

 

Silver-spotted Skipper (Epargyreus clarus).

 

Proboscis deep in the flower.

 

The three Canada Geese all tidied up.

 

 

 

The resident Great Blue Heron with the damaged tongue sticking out through its throat.
