I hadn’t seen a Little Wood Satyr butterfly in a couple of years and this one was stunning. It landed on a leaf on the side of the Doane Rock Trail to Coast Guard Beach.
The Little Wood Satyr butterfly lives on woodland edges as well as salt marshes, which explains why we saw it there on that trail.
The Stork’s Bill wildflowers have always been one of the first of the wildflowers that bloom at Fort Hill. But this year, they are just starting to bloom. I love their hot pink color that dots the sides of the trails.
Have you seen the Stork’s Bill Wildflowers at Fort Hill?
We were having a picnic breakfast at Fort Hill yesterday and were commenting that we hadn’t seen many Monarch butterflies this summer… maybe only a handful. And then this gorgeous one landed on the Milkweed plant nearby. Just beautiful…
