I spent a couple of afternoons on wood roads off the Aylesford Lake/North
River road.<br>
<u>May 31<br>
</u>Road off Magee Lake leading to Power Line;<br>
Birds - lots of Black-throated Blue Warblers, a few Olive-sided &amp;
Alder Flycatchers, Swainson Thrush, + Yellowthroats, etc. Heard what I
believe was a House Wren but it only sang once.... could not entice it
out.<br>
Leps - Tiger Swallowtail, Clouded Sulphur, Spring Azure (only photo of
latter)<br><br>
<u>June 1<br>
</u>Same road as above; <br>
- no sign of possible House Wren<br>
Odonates <br>
- 10+ Beaverpond Baskettail. Because of its behaviour &amp; habitat, I
assumed it was a Spiny Baskettail but netted a couple &amp; identified by
lack of T on forehead. (Both Spiny &amp; Common have the T mark but those
differ in behaviour &amp; habitat).<br>
- 1 Hudsonian Whiteface<br><br>
Another Wood road heading N from Aylesford Lake Road<br>
Leps - 20+ Dreamy Duskywing<br>
<x-tab>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</x-tab>- 1
Fritillary flew by &amp; disappeared ...likely Atlantis Fritillary but
quite early <br>
<x-tab>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</x-tab>- 1 small
reddish butterfly flying around while I was taking photos of a
dragonfly...likely a Northern Crescent<br>
<x-tab>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</x-tab>- 1 moth
(Zanclognatha sp. Best guess! Hopefully someone can i.d.)<br>
Odonates - Dot-tailed Whiteface (poor photo)<br>
<x-tab>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</x-tab>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - Maine Snaketail<br>
<x-tab>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</x-tab>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - Harlequin Darner (colourful but very small for
a darner)<br>
<x-tab>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</x-tab>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - Hudsonian Whiteface<br><br>
Photos of the Duskywing &amp; three Dragonflies are here:<br>
