Nature Done Wright

Fyke Nature Association's annual free Butterfly Walk is tomorrow (Saturday) from 10:30 a.m. to noon. We meet at Green Way.

We'll visit the highly productive Fred's Field, then Phair's Pond
(dragonflies, anyone?), and then head over to the beautiful Butterfly
Garden to see what we can see.

Ron Fanning counted EIGHT Clear-winged Moths at Greenway this
morning!

(He also had 25+ Least Sands. Spotted Sand (prob 2 but took off with
the definite one–may have been something else), several Killdeer,
Kingfisher. and 13 Great Blues! He thinks that ties his high for CF! — Thanks, Rob!)

At noon — or sooner if it's too hot — we'll head over to the Fell House for a quick tour of this historic house and its grounds. Free cold water, too!

This a family-friendly event — just be aware of ticks and possible
poison ivory (as my daughter used to call it). Long pants, sunscreen, lots of water and bug spray
make common sense.

We will post some recent buttefly pics in coming days.

Please rsvp. Details follow.
