Clear skies. Temperatures were little warm (80's) in the sun, overall, very nice day. Final "phenology" walk. Goat's-rue (Tephrosia virginiana) passed bloom. Common milkweed, mountain mint, eastern teaberry, and yellow wild indigo were all in bloom. First field was relatively sparse. A few monarchs, but not much else. Invasive plants are taking over the field and displacing a lot of the native vegetation. Most sightings were from the second field with the mountain mint. Hung around that field about 30 min before leaving. Might have seen a bit more if we had stayed for longer. Monarch 9 Pearl Crescent 6 Dun skipper 4 Little glassywing 1 Silver-spotted skipper 5 Edwards hairstreak 5 American lady 1 Delaware skipper 2 Variegated fritillary 1 Wood nymph 3 Redspotted purple 1 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MassLep" group.
