Double tiger lily.
I planted some Asian tiger lilies back in the spring. One of them has a mutation that causes it to produce more petals than usual. It’s called a double flower or in this case a double tiger.

Great White Heron/Egret.
They stop in WV for a few weeks one their migration path. So they’re kind of rare here.

Painted turtle digging around on the bank, trying to find a spot to lay eggs.Given her size it was probably her first clutch.
