I went to Hilton today with my friend Tesa to introduce her to the Osprey family living there. The Osprey weren't the only things we watched! Enjoy!!!

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

I'm pretty sure it was a Buteous Gigantus Veridarkus Butterfly.

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
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).

Awesome site Patti.  I've bookmarked it for future reference when attempting to ID these beautiful winged creatures.  So many passing through right now.

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.
