Still pretty good for mid-May! We also found a Striped Hairstreak butterfly, which Pierre found for the first time last week up there. 

 

For those of you around on Saturday (I’ll be flying as usual), there will be a “garlic mustard pulling” project from 0900-1200. The SNA folks sprayed lots of it about 10 days ago, but the goal is to pull as many plants as can be found on Sat. So, if you can, please consider helping us try to eliminate or at least contain this awful invasive weed. Thanks, Giff
