butterfly extravaganza 2003 2003-09-27 - 4:44 p.m. all photos � 2003 by Roger Williams, all rights reserved We headed over to Folsom this morning for the Butterfly Fest. As we arrived around 8:30 to get a better shot at the butterflies, we didn't see a huge number of bird species, but the Fest was remarkable for the huge numbers of female Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds moving through. Dozens upon dozens, if not hundreds, of hummingbirds were feeding, fighting, and making an impressive display. I burst out laughing as one bird kept spinning like a top in mid-air in a vain attempt to fight off all comers. On occasion, we saw the battling birds actually strike each other, although no one seemed to be hurt. It wasn't a completely female crew, as we saw at least one (and probably two) immature males, but the adult males do seem to be long gone. Note: Italicized species were seen on the drive over. Here's the bird list: Great Egret Yellow-Crowned Night Heron White Ibis -- four brown juveniles seen roadside in Covington Turkey Vulture Ruby-Throated Hummingbird Red-Bellied Woodpecker Empidonax species - the bird did not speak American Crow Blue Jay Carolina Chickadee Tufted Titmouse Gray Catbird -- heard only Northern Mockingbird Northern Cardinal I made no attempt to ID the many dragonfly species drifting around, but I did notice a species new to me, the male Common Whitetail Dragonfly. The "white" tail seemed more of a sour milk blue to me than white. We couldn't ID all the butterfly species seen either, especially the smaller guys, including the many small confusing skippers, but we feel confident that we have listed the most conspicuous butterfly species seen: Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Pipevine Swallowtail Cloudless Sulphur Little Sulphur Monarch Painted Lady Common Buckeye Gulf Fritillary Pearl Crescent Long-Tailed Skipper Silver-Spotted Skipper I was really depressed about my "Little Imp" abutilons being killed by the disaster, because they were all out of "Little Imp." I bought some Giant's Turk Cap and a winter-blooming Mexican cigar with yellow and red flowers to replace them, as well as some Asclepias butterfly weed, Salvia leucantha, and some regular Mexican cigar. It's too hot to transplant them right now, so I'll do it in the evening.
