Butterflies - 2018
Since I have a meadow on my property with lots of wildflowers, it attracts a lot of pollinators - including Butterflies. I have recently acquired a series of books on ID'ing Butterflies and have decided to post some of the species ID'ed in my blog for everyone to observe and enjoy.
Since this is a new venture for me, I except that it may take some time to verify the species and or get proficient at identification of the varies species for butterfly.
So with field guide, binoculars, and camera in hand I walked to the meadow yesterday to start my 'life' list of butterfly observations.
In retrospect, it was probably not the best time to my observations on a very hot summer end of June day with temps in the low 90's..but I gave it a shot.
While the meadow was very active with bees, insects and birds - I only observed one (1) species of butterfly: a Great Spangled Fritillary (see the attached photo's.
So as of today, my Butterfly Life list stands at 1...with more to come I am sure.

Until next time - good birding and butterfly observations.
