WPR Butterflies

Sherry Felix

I’ll be making 7 posts on Ward Pound Ridge Reservation in Westchester, New York. I would love to get a seasonal pass but they only offer passes to Westchester residents. It is a good place to look for butterflies in the summer in between the Spring and Fall bird migration.

    The first picture has great composition, Sherry, and a bonus bug, maybe some kind of bumblebee?

      Thanks Anne. I will be posting some skippers soon that I bet I misidentified.
