Jim et al - interestingly the Mourning Cloak I saw Fri May 14th was very
weathered and looked like one that had hibernated as it had ragged edges
and the dull faded white wing borders vs the yellowish borders of fresh
individuals. Also of note was that this individual was nectaring on I
believe low bush blueberry rather than usually from I have seen in the past
of feeding on sap of or decay or animal feces .
I find it interesting that we have hibernators flying with "summer " brood
emergent individuals - perhaps of the temp gradient from the valley to
coast has forced early emergent "cloaks" ? ?

Yesterday, a Mourning Cloak butterfly sailing about in the garden at my new
place in Round Hill. It seemed a little late compared to when I might see
one in eastern Ontario, but Jim's note makes me think this might actually be
their normal flight time here (?).
Very interesting about the fiddleheads!

12
MAY 12, 2010 - Resting on the gravel path along the Wolfville railroad
tracks was a fresh-looking adult mourning cloak butterfly. By the Acadia
Arena I was surprised to see a tall small tree of pin cherry (flowering)
perhaps 6 metres tall (most pin cherry bushes that I see are much smaller in
stature at 3 m. or less.
