Walk Through Wetlands

June 14, 2023

These are the first butterflies I've seen in June so far.  Not very many.  Also saw Cabbage Whites in May and June.  At my favorite places about 3 years ago the long grass, flowering weeds were all cut back and it has not been the same since.  Also in the area, the Buckthorn bushes were bulldozed down and also the dead trees the woodpeckers liked.  I have not seen any dragonflies yet.

Eastern Giant Swallowtail

I went to the Coves yesterday and saw a Snapping Turtle and Midland Painted Turtles which is always nice.  Not a great photo of Snapping Turtle.
