Perfect day outside today. It's about 75 and sunny fairly low wind. I headed over to North Farm as usual around 11 to look for butterflies. It was absolutely gorgeous. Bird activity was very low. Lots of odenates about. Decent butterfly activity. I managed to pick out a Common Wood Satyr from the ubiquitous Carolina Satyrs. Odenate highlight was an attractive female Ebony Jewel wing (Calopteryx maculata) not much on the butterfly side of things. Falcate orangetips seem to have disappeared already.
Ebony Jewelwing (Calopteryx maculata). Very cool bug.
Monarch on Red Clover (Trifolium pratense)
Clouded Skipper (Lerema accius)
You belong to the wrong order so I have no idea what you are!
Fowler's Toad (Bufo fowleri)
Six-spotted Green Tiger Beetle (Cincindela sexguttata)
The only bird that would sit still long enough for a photo: Eastern Kingbird (Tyrannus tyrannus)
