The census drive is looking more orange, yellow, and red each day.
Fall is settling in to stay, and the Monarchs must be on their way. |
Early this morning we had a small patch of Monarchs (15-20) at the end
of Lighthouse Avenue over the dunes that made up the bulk of the census
count. By noon, rain came in and the Monarchs were few and far between
for the rest of the day. I believe there may still be some butterflies
around, we just aren't seeing them due to the inclement weather we've
been having recently. According to the weather reports,
Friday may
be our next good day since there's sunshine and west winds. That trend
should continue throughout the weekend, convenient for those out-of-town
visitors.

Winged sumac (Rhus copallinum) and its deep red, sour-tasting fruits. These fruits will offer
a big help to birds like cardinals and waxwings throughout the winter. |
