First I encountered a flock of over 100 pelicans corralling fish. They started in a big circle and gradually closed it up herding the fish together and then a mass feeding. Very cool. Then I saw a UFO. Then hundreds of horseflies and a few butterflies. Also saw an A Bittern and Forster's and Black Terns.
Added a couple of extra skipper photos I couldn't identify.
