 Canatara, Early August:

While walking around Lake Chipican, the Great Egret rarely fails to make an appearance at this time of year!

Silver-spotted Skipper on Pickerel Weed.

Mallard Mom supervising the Lily Pads.
I noticed movement in the Lily Pads and finally spied one of the little ducklings who popped out briefly from under cover. Looks like a good place to play!

Great spot for a Great Blue Heron to rest once his belly is full of fish!

Young Black-crowned Night Herons have started showing up for meals. There is a smorgasbord of fish and aquatic invertebrates in the lake for the many heron species and other fish eaters!
