I saw my FOS ruby-throated hummingbird at the Monticello Park today, along
with a scarlet tanager and a Bay-breasted warbler, kindly identified by
Eric Dinerstein. I missed seeing the Mississippi kites flying overhead by
just a few seconds.
I also saw my FOS pipevine swallowtail butterfly in the park.
The park was packed with birders, despite the mud and the humidity.
