Susan and I walked 3.5 miles at Mason Farm this afternoon. The crossing ove= r Morgan Creek is closed due to high water, so we had to walk in through Pa= rker Preserve. In the beginning, it was COLD=E2=80=A6about 48F and eventual= ly warmed to 55F. Butterflies were scarce=E2=80=A6I think many may be in th= e initial stages of decay after the last 2 frigid nights. We only found 6 s= pecies in all, versus 7 species of warblers! A tepid effort to be sure. The= complete list follows:
Zebra Swallowtail-1 Eastern Tiger Swallowtail-11 Falcate Orangetip-1 female Eastern Tailed-Blue-2 Question Mark-2 Red Admiral-1
