gcwarblerDescription
This was one of the nicest examples of Half-naked pen shell that I found, nearly intact. (I'm not sure it made it home in this condition.)

lumenalDescription
Saw this turkey swimming in Lake Ontario among 0.5m waves. It was moving slowly, but kept it's head above water and looked like it reached the shore safely.

Typical Nighthawks (Genus Chordeiles)Observer
jaykellerDescription
Tricky individual that only clucked, so unhelpful for ID. Less buffy plumage and white wing band about midway between wrist and primary tips suggest Common Nighthawk, but wings approximately the same length as tail at rest suggest Antillean. I have documented individuals by voice that appear to be hybrids not far from this location, so probably best left at genus level.

Myrtle × Audubon's Warbler (Setophaga coronata coronata × auduboni)Observer
jnstuartDescription
Looks like a Myrtle (at minimum) and probably a Myrtle x Audubon intergrade based on yellow wash on throat.
