I think this is a green morph of an Leopard Frog, but I'd love any assistance anyone would be willing to provide with that.

I wasn't able to ID this bug at first, but was able to get some help with it. Apparently it's a Virginia Ctenucha.

These are not what I would call great pictures, but it's just so unusual that I manage to get any sort of insect in flight that I thought it was kind of neat to get this dragonfly.

How can you tell this is a juvenile red-winged blackbird? The markings suggest it might be a female, but its behavior was pretty clear: standing on a branch, looking around and opening and closing its mouth as though someone would come along at any moment to feed it? That's kind of a tip-off.

I wasn't sure what this song sparrow was carrying in its mouth at first. It looked like leaves. It's actually a trio of small worms. I spotted one other song sparrow nearby holding several worms as well. I think they were both headed back to the nest to feed their young.

Every once in awhile while going through Dead Creek, I spot something unexpected. Last year it was an American Coot. This time it was this Blue-winged teal.

When I pulled up to take photos of an eastern Kingbird, it took flight, leaving me with this photo.

One of the first things I noticed in one of the back access areas of Dead Creek was a juvenile bald eagle flying across the water. I wasn't able to get any good shots of it until it landed in a nearby tree, but then I got this amazing look at it.

I didn't actually expect to see any snow geese this late in the year, but this pair was hanging out at dead creek.

This particular goose caught my eye-- its got an injured leg, but was able to move around quite well on its own. It's a tough call with injuries during migration. This one may turn out fine, but there's a good chance that its injury will lead to infection or some other problem.
