Some days are made for this!  Today I went to the Marsh with the intention of walking not running.  Clearly the wildlife was a bit more forgiving of my presence.  So I managed a few better shots of already seen wildlife.

 Snowy Egret 

 And proving that patience has rewards, one very special photograph.

Greater Yellowlegs 

Tree Swallow 

American Robin

And new to this list:

Greater Egret

Killdeer

Seagull

Swamp Sparrow

And some small fish, one of which you saw earlier in the mouth of the Snowy Egret.

A bit more luck today while out for my run.  Spotted the groundhog again, and this time, even though it was a long way away and I am only using a phone, I managed a shot of it out of the burrow, before managing to get a little closer.

Woodchuck / Groundhog

Very happy about that!

Then farther along the trail I came across a pair of Canada Geese with 4 goslings.  One of the pair was not happy and, as you can see in the second shot, it came for me so I had to do the honourable thing and retreat.

And spotted one new species.
