Marvin Smith

Thank you. I saw his white tail receding into the distance shortly after taking this photo.

Thanks for helping me out with an ID.

Thank you. The Phoebe chick were gone by early this afternoon.

Thanks, Maria.

Azure damselfly is a European species, not North American.

Yes, Yellow-sided Skimmer looks correct. Thank you.

The snake wasn't going to harm me, but my lawnmower and I could harm the hognose. :-) Judging by that bulge in the snake's midsection, I'd speculate a toad did not move out of harms way fast enough.

Thank you -- and thanks for bringing that new mission to my attention. I've added it to my mission list.

Great photo. The texture and color contrast is awesome.

Carolina: Oops! Sorry I did not notice that mission was only for the NYC area. I've removed it from my missions list.
