Recent Outings - Final Week of June 2021

 Week of June 28, 2021

While birding as I mentioned before I'm looking for butterflies, too.  I got my first Eastern Tailed-Blue in Hyde Park.  Sulphurs are starting to appear as I saw a couple of Clouded Sulphurs.  I also saw first of the year Common Wood Nymph.  There were lots of them flying around this week.

I was delighted to see the Black-crowned Night Heron.  They are very hard to find in the trees behind all the leaves.  They are a smaller heron, a little bigger than a Green Heron.  They are stocky with short legs.  There are a pair at the Coves..... with one baby maybe two.
