The butterfly action is really increasing. I was overjoyed and delighted to see a ZEBRA SWALLOWTAIL in the garden. It was just perfection and a new one for me for Howard county. The EASTERN BLUEBIRD babies are just about to fledge. There are five in the box and they were peeping out the hole this morning. New babies are FLICKER and RED-BELLIED young in the yard. Some sl= ight movement with a PURPLE MARTIN flyover and WHITE-EYED VIREO singing in the back.
