Recent sightings

Late November bflys do not like winds in the teens like we had today. I saw but could not identify a skipper today.

Seen in our wooded area. Most likely the same individual seen on 11/16.

50 degrees and full sun for our mid-morning walk, that featured buckeyes, dragonflies, cricket frogs, and a pair of low-flying mature bald eagles. As Bill Waterson wrote in a Calvin and Hobbes comic, "There's treasure everywhere."

Coming to late asters on south side of house.

Sunny, windy, temperature @50 degrees.

Obs. 2.00-2.45 Temps in the mid 50’s.

flying back and forth from mountain mint to bayberry, apparently looking for shelter from brisk winds.

The male Sachem in the photo followed and pestered the celery looper moth even though there was a f. Sachem present. A second m. Sachem showed no interest in any of the other moths and bflys present. Lots of good story possibilities with in this scenario.

This time of year, 3/4's of an ocola sk is better than none.
