Yet another trip to Occoquan Bay NWR, this time led by Ken Rosenthal of Reston Association’s Walker Nature Center. The birding was rather slow; I lugged my scope to get some decent views of Bald Eagle and Osprey.
Otherwise, I picked up some new personal species records for iNaturalist, including Rough Cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium), Differential Grasshopper (Melanoplus differentialis), Sugarcane Beetle (Euetheola humilis), and Transverse-banded Flower Fly (Eristalis transversa) A lot of the interesting stuff was along the shore of the bay.
