Local nature notes follow.
A major migration of AM. ROBINS and SPARROWS, involving
thousands of birds, came through Oct. 30. CMBO'S "Night
watch" on Oct. 28 witnessed thousands of TREE SWALLOWS
going to roost. With temperatures dropping, Butterfly
numbers have dropped, but a few are still in the area. On
Nov. 2, CMBO's garden had 2 CLOUDLESS SULPHURS, and the
State Park trails had a QUESTION  MARK, 2 GREEN DARNER
dragonflies, and several MONARCHS. A COMMON BUCKEYE was in
the Cape May Meadows Nov. 1, and a LONG-TAILED SKIPPER was
in the Villas Oct. 28.
