Low spot in the dunes, probably a freshwater pond in the winter but dried out by mid or late summer.
Any chance this is B. repens? At Young's Rock.
Heard 2 owls singing back and forth (audio #1). Later heard one chittering (audio #2), then observed 2 owls mating. One left and one entered a hole in the tree (images #1-3), then resumed the song.
It lumbered across the road right in front of my car and then watched me from nearby just long enough for me to get a picture.
I think this is var. compositum because of the angled junction of the side and outer pinna margins, but the plants are so small that it is difficult to say with certainty. Elevation about 5000 ft.
Saw this on the Latourel Falls trail. I'm not sure if they are the same weasel, but I assume they were at least of the same family since they came out of the same burrow.
Fledgling, accompanied by an adult (separate observation):

The otter was fighting this huge fish underwater for several minutes. Eventually it dragged the still-thrashing fish onto a small island and disappeared behind some vegetation.
This observation is for the mammal. For the fish, see: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/103728272
I've not been back to the site so I don't know whether it is still extant. The habitat is still intact but deer browsing may be an issue.
