Not gonna post the wifey but everything went off without a hitch! I was a blubbering mess the whole night 😂

Eastern Ratsnake (mimicked a rattle snake to try scaring me off 😂), camera shy River Otter, starfish, Cormorant, cutie lil Chipmunk, Greater Yellowlegs, and an Osprey with some lunch!

(And some coins i acquired this weekend)

People claim to live this country then literally trash it to avoid a minor inconvenience. Potomac river is a quarter mile down the road if that. It's bad enough without this extra trash. Park doesn't take reservations for the 4th so they just get away with littering and I have no one to direct my anger at. Thanks for letting me rant, hope you all had a safe and fun fourth

Ruffed Grouse, Yellow Headed Blackbird, Osprey, Chipmunk, Meese, Prairie Dog, Bison, Canada Jay(!), Sandhill Crane, American Dipper(!), Marmot, Pika, Cinnamon Teal, Redhead and Ring Neck, Townsend Solitaire(!), Red Tailed Hawk, and Big Horn Goats! No spitting horse tho :(

Wish I had taken more pictures. Not my best welds on display but a fun little project for the local strongman gym I used to train at
