Edge of Sylvan

Canada Greese, European Starlings, Pond Slider, Wood Duck. Missing here is a fishing Great Egret and a permanently teed-off male Red-winged Blackbird diving and yelling at it.

Orange Bluet males: above recently emerged from exuviae; below in full adult coloring.

Amberwing and snapper…
