The Big Dead-Fish Clean-Up
A huge thank you to the volunteers who pitched in yesterday to remove all those dead fish from the Celery…
In honor of this Saturday's Tom Burr Memorial Celery Farm Butterfly Walk, I posted a trifecta of butterfly mysteries taken last month at Duke Farms.
Patrick Carney got two of the three right.
(Nice going, Patrick; I would have guesses Brwod-winged Skipper, too!)
The first guy is a Mourning Cloak.
The next guy (at left) is a Dun Skipper. (North American Butterfly Association folks pointed this guy; thanks for the spelling assist, Deedee!).
They also pointed out the third guy, the Eastern Tailed-Blue. (Thanks, NABA!)
Don't forget, the Butterfly Walk is this Saturday at 10:30 a.m. — meet at Green Way!
It is Dun Skipper
