I love when the small birds come down to drink from the very large puddle in front of where we park. :happy:

Title: Re: Osprey watch Post by: Patti from Kentucky on 18-Aug-11, 10:20:01 PM Watch out, Ospreys! MAK's on your track! Super slide-show - loved that big black butterfly - can anyone ID? I'm pretty sure it was a Buteous Gigantus Veridarkus Butterfly. The common name for a Buteous Gigantus Veridarkus is the Spicebush Swallowtail. Here's a good site for butterflies of New York: http://www.thebutterflysite.com/newyork-butterflies.shtml (http://www.thebutterflysite.com/newyork-butterflies.shtml) You can check out all of the Swallowtails because they're often confusing, especially that sneaky black female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail. But I'm pretty sure this one's the Spicebush Swallowtail (both the fronts and back are a good match, assuming both photos are of the same butterfly).

I've bookmarked it for future reference when attempting to ID these beautiful winged creatures. So many passing through right now. Title: Re: Osprey watch Post by: MAK on 18-Aug-11, 10:59:59 PM Yes Patti both pics are the same butterfly. A Spicebush Swallowtail it is! :clap:
Title: Re: Osprey watch Post by: Donna on 18-Aug-11, 11:03:06 PM I never saw so many varieties of Butterflies in the past. This year wow, so nice! Every day I see 4 or 5 different species.
