The lovely weather and sun this weekend brought out a few more butterflies
here in Ipswich. My first Monarch of the year yesterday at Daniel Boone
Park was a nice surprise, first basking in the sun on the powerline cut
hill overlooking the saltmarsh and then flying directly overhead and out of
sight. I spent about two hours this afternoon in my back yard pulling up
garlic mustard to the chittering sound of Chimney Swifts overhead, and also
saw an Eastern Comma, a first for my yard. The full lists:

*5/16/26 - Daniel Boone Park, Ipswich*
Monarch 1x
American Copper 1x
Cabbage White 4x
Mourning Cloak 1x

*5/16/26 - Hamlin Reservation, Ipswich*
Cabbage White 2x
Sulphur Sp. 3x
Azure Sp. 1x
Mourning Cloak 1x

*5/17/26 - Warren St, Ipswich *

Eastern Comma 1x
Cabbage White 2x
