Nice find Tyler. Speaking of harbingers of Spring, I had two Mourning
Cloaks and one Eastern Comma butterfly yesterday at Flag Ponds and another
Mourning Cloak in my yard today.
For the past week I've had a particularly tame male Pine Warbler coming to
my platform window feeder who readily jumps on my hand and takes mealworms!
I hope my photos turn out.
