Today, Tues Mar 9, Ranger Carol N., Rick and May S., Mike and Ginny R. and 7 visitors had another enjoyable butterfly walk. After a few days of high temperatures, and occasional sun, the numbers of butterflies have increased. We had 27 species including a Monarch and Nysa Roadside Skipper. Our Anaqua trees are blooming, wonderfully fragrant, and alive with bees. There are so many trees in bloom we could only look at a few of them and we no doubt missed some butterflies. It seems that spring may have finally arrived after a long cold cloudy winter.
