--000000000000c479020616f1baa1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Though the calendar says April 25, I swear butterflying today seemed more like May 1-3; the spring push is over, owing to a very warm and advanced spring. I visited a site in n.e. Franklin County where I have been often over the years, usually in mid-April, under mostly sunny and mild conditions (fine enough). Here are the rather disappointing totals for nearly 6 hours of walking, and you can see the "spring season" -- duskywings in numbers, azures, etc., -- is over here. Zebra Swallowtail 1 Pipevine Swallowtail 3 Black Swallowtail 1 male; quite a surprise in a forested setting with dirt tracks Spicebush Swallowtail 5 E. Tiger Swallowtail 6 E.
