February Butterflies

The Sun has not been out very often during the last two weeks but we did have a couple of days last week pushing 80 degrees and today it was sunny and in the mid-fifties. Over-wintering adults are starting to fly. Last week on the 21st I saw my first Mourning Cloak and today was the first Eastern Comma. Both were seen at approximately 1,500-1,600 ft along the ridge line on Third Hill Mtn within Sleepy Creek WMA in Berkeley county. A great start to hopefully a fun year.
