I saw an Eastern Comma today (4/14/26) at Willowdale State Forest in
Ipswich, by the Pineswamp Rd entrance. A pair of Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers
were chasing each other around directly behind. It was a beautiful sunny
day and above 70 degrees here.

A bit less exciting, but there's also been Cabbage Whites in Ipswich over
the past few days. I first saw one on 4/11/26 on High Street in Ipswich on
my way to the Spring MBC meeting. I saw a total of four Cabbage Whites in
several places close to downtown Ipswich today, mostly spread far apart.
One was visiting a patch of Siberian Squill (*Scilla siberica*).
