I did my college internship surveying for them on the Snake River in Eastern Idaho. We found several of them, but I haven't found any since. I think they're just beautiful!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955522094128093571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14327569.post-78911363134629772162010-05-17T23:30:24.263-05:002010-05-17T23:30:24.263-05:00Wow you guy's saw a lot of birds on that walk!...Wow you guy's saw a lot of birds on that walk!

The refuges are in a different land system (run by the US Fish and Wildlife Service) and they have different rules. <br /><br />National Wildlife Refuges are supposed to be the only federal lands where wildlife comes first.<br /><br />Thanks for the great report!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06632461032592288605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14327569.post-45644037605359378952010-05-17T13:43:46.466-05:002010-05-17T13:43:46.466-05:00Butterflies, bugs and chickens?

I love catching sight of them in the woods. Last year I saw one three times throughout the summer, but no luck so far this year.

That beautifully ragged wing shape made me think that it was a comma, and a quick perusal of the <i>Butterflies and Moths of North America</i> site led me to believe that your butterfly might be an <a href="http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species?l=1755&chosen_state=37*North%20Carolina" rel="nofollow">Eastern Comma</a>. But we'll wait to see what the experts say when they show up. Gorgeous photo of a gorgeous buggy though. So vivid!
