psweet Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 The flying bird is a Common Nighthawk. I'm not sure about the first one -- at that age, I'm not sure how to rule out Chuck-will's Widow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psweet Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 If the first bird was showing white wing bars, then it's a Common Nighthawk. The butterfly is a Gray Hairstreak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
