Small-Eyed Sphinx
I had posted the first picture before, asking if anyone knew what moth this was. The moth continued to appear overnight and, after further research, I finally figured out what it was!
Polyphemus Moth
A polyphemus moth ran into the screen on our porch. Very large and very startling.
Yellow Warbler

Baby Robin
While leaving a day at Nature Up North, I passed a robin feeding her baby in the middle of a parking lot. It probably wasn't the best place to have a baby that can't fly, but I guess the robin found it suitable.
Cedar Waxwing

Leopard Frog
In the middle of the night, I was walking back to my house, and saw a frog jump. Earlier I had posted a picture of a pickerel frog, and this was a leopard frog. A pickerel frog has squarish-shaped spots that are close together, while a leopard frog has circular spots that are far apart.

Spotted: A White Squirrel
No one believed me when I said I saw a white squirrel earlier in the week--but here's the proof! I finally snapped a shot of the little guy on my way back from the U-Share Garden.
