Butterfly Migration


Sandhills about to hit a norther today: fallout!!!
Just heard Sandhills going over Hyde park. (Photos from New Mexico, not Hyde Park).
Our group in High Island really enjoyed this hatch of termites in Smith Oaks!! Brought in many passerines. I guess we spent 30 minutes watching.
Got bird # 148 at the Dacha today: Bullocks Oriole — no pix.
You gotta love a woman who responds with a huge enthusiastic grin, gets her shoes on, and follows you outside when you say “We have dung beetles!!!!”!! We were delighted to see 3 of these little dudes rolling their business at our place near Fort Davis!!!
And here’s a small challenge for you B3 grads (or anyone else): ID this bird and tell us why. What is the diagnostic field mark?
