With warm windy weather forecast for today, I figured it might be time to get some yard work done. Did'nt look good for birds and butterflies have been disappointing lately so at least I could accomplish something. So I put in a couple of hours and was going to work a bit more when visiting butterfly watcher Billy Weber and his parents showed up. I got Billy his first Double-dotted Skippers last year. Well, this was a great excuse to quit working and have some fun. Good butterflies were on the wing and we we doing great when Billy casually mentions "There's a Black-throated Gray Warbler." Dang! That's one I've been expecting. Took me a while to get on it but eventually I got some shots. Yard bird #220!
More lepidophiles arrived and we wound up seeing 48 species of butterflies including yard butterfly #115, this stonking Mexican Silverspot.
I'm hoping my little Black-throated Gray shows up again tomorrow so I can spend some quality time with it.
