We inspected Riverside Drive to find these scenes:

A male Monarch, a bee  and Fritillary sharing milkweed nectar:

Flock of juvenile Canada Geese dabbling for wild rice seed before it surfaces.   This is not a good sign as it indicates a shortage of goose feed before the seed heads of the wild rice emerge above the water surface.

Male Twelve Spotted Skimmer at rest between meals…

Clouded Sulphur and Paper(?) Wasp share Goldenrod nectar.

Nice Cumulus clouds are building from daytime heating over the rocks.

In the previous post I identified that Hawk as a Broad-winged Hawk.  It might be a Merlin.  Any advice?  Many thanks for help.
