Hi all, While enjoying some sunshine and warm temps in between all the rain, I noticed an orange butterfly. Since my field guide for butterflies was at work and all other books packed I followed and waited patiently to see the marks on the undersides of the wings. It was a question mark, appears to have been an overwintering adult; the wings did not have that "brand new" look and there were pieces missing from the wings. Also, first pair of cowbirds made an appearance at the feeder yesterday. Anna Varney Summertown, TN __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
