This has nothing to do with the marsh, but it does concern wildlife. I have a big pot of geraniums by my back door. Sunday night I had the porch light on, and I noticed something big fluttering around the blossoms. It looked similar to a hummingbird, as its wings moved rapidly, and it was nearly as large. I grabbed my camera and was eventually able to get this shot. It was a White-lined Sphinx moth, commonly known as the Hummingbird moth, apparently very common, although I've never seen one before. They visit many kinds of flowers for nectar.
