First Sightings of the Year!


While working with Friends of Glenorchy on a community clean-up of the Glenorchy Conservation area yesterday, we had many first of the year sightings. These include the Belted Kingfisher (at least two of them, calling back and forth), two Eastern Phoebes and at least two Northern Rough-Winged Swallows. I was able to get a picture of the Swallows when they took a break in the tree. They were busy flying over the creek and feeding on insects. The Kingfishers were too far away for a good picture and the lighting wasn't right for the Phoebes.




We also saw what we've tentatively as the Compton Tortoiseshell Butterfly.
