At home this afternoon:
Red Admiral
Black Swallowtail
Can tiger Swallowtail
Mustard White
Spring Azure
Eastern Pine Elfin
Dreamy Duskywing
Also…had 41 species at the Mystery Trail. Alder Flycatcher was season first. Heard LoWa (Louisiana Watherthrush) from the Ompomp.
From the heard but not seen dept: yesterday while working in Fairlee (outside) I kept hearing a warbler. I wanted to make it a Cape May.
Alas, seems like every year I spend a half hour traipsing around my yard to find this repetitious, high warbler song. Always turns out to be a Blackpoll Wa.
For me, they are really hard to find while in migration. Easier in the mountains. So I finally realized I was hearing a BLPW yest. tricky but good.
