2020 September 8 afternoon

 

   Val Georgewrites:  At Island View Park this morning, September 8, while waiting at the Bell’s Vireo location, I saw more butterflies than I’ve seen for some time.  As well as a few Cabbage Whites and Woodland Skippers, there were about half a dozen Ringlets, a female Purplish Copper and a very worn Anise Swallowtail.  I also saw a Praying Mantis, probably the same one reported by Gordon Hart yesterday
