From Rod Crawford
145254 is probably atrica. Let's leave this one here for now though.

Moved from Zygiella atrica. Due to the overlap of x-notata and atrica in your area I've moved this to this temporary no taxon page.

Our first thought is an orb weaver
in the genus Zygiella. Jeff may know. We certainly should be able to ID it from this lovely image!

I agree!
Fantastic image! I also concur on the ID. If the orb web was missing a sector (wedge), then it is definitely Zygiella.
