A walk along the RR bed this afternoon yielded the following:<br>
<u>Butterflies<br>
</u>- 1 White Admiral<br>
- a few Common Ringlets<br>
- many Tiger Swallowtails<br>
- Cuckoo flower in bloom everywhere but no Mustard Whites<br>
- a few Cabbage Butterflies<br>
- quite a few Hobomok Skippers<br>
<u>Dragonflies<br>
</u>- 2 adult males; 3 fem. or imm. male, Common Whitetails<br>
- 2 ad. Chalk-fronted Corporals<br>
- 1 Twelve-spotted Skimmer (in backyard)<br><br>
<u>Others<br>
</u>- American Toad trilling<br>
- a few Green Frogs &quot;glunging&quot; (would expect more)<br>
- lots of birds still singing including a Black-throated Blue Warbler
which I've never had before along this stretch.<br><br>
This is a stretch of RR bed which a group are attempting to turn into a
non-motorized trail. Today a company was laying a&nbsp; topcoat of
crushed rock and wet clay. It will be a great surface for walkers,&nbsp;
runners and cyclists. Now they just have to keep the 4-wheelers &amp;
dirt bikes off it, no easy task!!<br><br>
