Nature Done Wright

  If you measure success in terms of quantity — of people or of butterfly species — then I guess Friday’s butterfly walk wasn’t too great.

    The threat of rain and cloudy skies put a damper on both people and butterflies, and the only butterfly seen in profusion was the cabbage white, considered by many to be the Canada goose of the butterfly world.

   But looking closely at the ground and plants instead of at the lake or the tree branches, we got a tremendous glimpse of another world of nature.
   We saw awesome tiny damselflies, a baby yellow warbler, a baby snapping turtle (considered by many to be the Canada goose of the turtle world but pretty cool at that age).

Here are photos of some of what we saw.

 Note: We did nor see any Canada geese (considered by many to be the cabbage whites or snapping turtles of the waterfowl world).

  Any help with IDs would be appreciated. I am assuming the damselflies are a male and female of the same species, because they were hanging around Phair’s Pond together.
