Butterflies, and Dragon and Damsel flies

Glenda Denniston spent 4 hours in the Lakeshore Nature Preserve on July 5, in search of all those pretty things with wings, especially butterflies. She "visited the rain garden across from Raymer's Cove; Frautschi Point from parking lot garden along Big Oak Trail, around 2nd Oak near Field Edge, then Field Edge and Gully and into a few trails in lower unit of Biocore Prairie and back to parking lot along Field Edge; then Picnic Point including rain gardens and main trail to tip and back via Picnic Pt Marsh Trail; then "East Savanna (old orchard) including two small planting areas (prairie/savanna) and across to top of Biocore Prairie; back via fields to site of old Picnic Pt Farmhouse and from there to Heritage Oak, Upper Bill's Woods and Bill's Woods soils trail to bottom along University Bay Drive. Brief look at berm and marsh edge of 1918 Marsh.  Stopped again at Raymer's Cove on way back home."

It will be feat for most of us to merely repeat Glenda's surveying walk through the Preserve, let alone spot, identify, and photograph this impressive list butterflies. Please check for more details on our butterfly page, and also, come and enjoy the Friends butterfly field trip with Ed Spalding, this Saturday July 11, 10-noon, meeting at Picnic Point entrance
