Just before we ate supper I was outside and noticed at least two Butterflies at the neighbours flower garden. Brown with Orange and little bit of White.  Rear Vice Admiral or something. ::)
I'll post the pics if I remember where I put my camera

Almost ventured up North today to change tires but was to lazy.

I've seen a few too. Mourning cloak and Tortoiseshell are around this early feeding from tree sap exposed by Yellow-bellied sapsuckers, among other less savoury sources of nutrients. Even the Eastern comma could be here. The latter two species show orange, brown and a touch  of white.

Red Admiral and Eastern Comma this morning ... near the bluffs ... I-saw-sum: about ten. Otherwise quiet in the park, except for the dogs and marathon talkers on Bluetooth ... non-stop quatsch. Did see FOY Gray catbird and FOY Ruby-crowned kinglet, but not much else except perhaps a gezillion song sparrows. Others are finding Vesper sparrows, Savannah sparrows and even Field sparrows but they probably know what they're doing and can visit hot spots.
