I spent some time walking my local patch today since I live within my MBBA square. My rather late start resulted in the birding being rather slow and as the temperature rose the appearance of some other flying creatures caught my attention. Butterflies seen: Cabbage white - numerous Clouded Sulphur Dusky Dreamywing - none of my illustrations really do this one justice Canadian Tiger Swallowtail - my first of the year Odonates: White Corporal (f) Four-spotted Skimmer Eastern Forktail Unknown damsel: This one was fairly large, was not a spreadwing or a bluet and seemed to have some iridescence to the body. The wings were clear. It most resembled a Superb Jewelwing but it seems rather early for this one and I see from the checklist that this species is rare in NS. Anyone out there with some other possibilities? I was in a location where Ebony Jewelwings are abundant in season but none of these beauties was present. Cheers, Bob McDonald Halifax
