||||
Hi Leppers, I haven=E2=80=99t seen many butterflies so far this year. Got my usual FOY,= Eastern Comma, along Amethyst Brook a few weeks ago. This past Monday a wo= rn-looking American Lady passed through our neighborhood. Otherwise, just a= scattering of Cabbage Whites. Until Wednesday, when a tiger swallowtail winged through our front yard! I = was mildly shocked. Given the early date (April 29), presumably a Canadian = Tiger? Butterflies of Massachusetts seems to reinforce my impression that i= t=E2=80=99s early for them; it does list a handful of April dates, but not = many.=20 Cheers, Josh Joshua S.
