America celebrates 250 years during a steamy heatwave.
The birds are less plentiful during the end of June and beginning of July. However, the shorebirds are beginning to populate the marshes. Ospreys are fishing. Fledgelings are making their presence known as they leave their nests during their awkward first flights.
