November 2016 Sightings

Sunny and warm (ca. 70°). 2:45-3:15.

This E. Tailed Blue may be a new late date for northern NJ. Certainly it's my first November individual.

Sunny, temperature ca. 70°. 11:00 to 2:00.

Sunny, 70F, light breeze. 11:30-12:30.
Very fresh Monarch nectaring on asters.

Sunny; temperature ca. 56°. A 5 minute dash (ca. 2:00) to look for this lingering Eastern Tailed Blue. Undoubtedly the same butterfly as two days ago. I can't believe this tattered butterfly will survive the cold temps predicted for tonight.

While hawk watching at the "Acropolis" (south side of Culvers Gap above Rt. 206) a very fresh winter form Eastern Comma landed briefly on a rock right in front of me. It was 50F, windy with hazy sun through high, thin clouds.

some of the buckeyes were worn/damaged but others were mint. Some appeared noticeably small.

One Shadow Darner landed briefly

1:30-2:30, sunny, 60s. (Wade only, as Sharon had to stay home and rake leaves.)

Beautiful day–clear, sunny, mid 60s in the PM. Cabbage White was in our garden, Clouded Sulphur at Lodestar Park.

65 degrees, sunny, breezy
