This hybrid goose serves as a "nanny" to a pair of Canada Geese and their young. Here she is keeping a close watch on her charges near the dam.
A Spotted Sandpiper clings to the spillway of the Killbuck Wetlands dam while looking for food. It is probably eating bits of algae growing on the concrete. Notice the female Mallard Duck, shown for comparison. This Sandpiper is changing from breeding to fall plumage.
These shots, taken near sunset, show the changing pattern on this Sandpiper.
