While birding and butterflying Greene Mountain Road (in southern Greene County)
in the early afternoon today, I heard a Red Crossbill. The bird called loudly
a few times as it flew over the woods a short distance away from me and
appeared to be headed west. This occurred on the back (i.e., south) side of
the gorge, about a mile from Viking Mountain Road. The northern and western
edges of the gorge are heavily covered in pines, perhaps helping to explain the
presence of the crossbill.
I also found at least a half dozen male Diana Fritillaries along Greene
Mountain Road and nearby areas. One perched on the driver's seat of my car and
offered the look of a lifetime.
