Tried to do my first Butterfly twitch today, and failed. Was at the visitors centre when I was shown a photo of a Sleepy Orange from NW beach... We zipped over, but missed...... I still want that species! (It's the principle of the thing now)
Butterfly highlight of the day was two Spicebush Swallowtails + 1 Giant feeding together on the east beach... Here's a pic:
Also had a Black Swallowtail inside the park today.. Not something I see all the time in there..... Not sure if there is much else....
Actually come to think of it, it was probably one of the slowest days inside the park (or pelee island) so far this "spring migration" period......
========================
Hopefully some birds take off tonight and get hit by some rain... Would really spice things up a bit...
Looking at the long range, there is (currently) a major heat wave/spike in the forecast for next weekend (26+ degrees for Saturday) but we'll wait a few more days to see how it's actually going to pan out...
