Meadow Restoration: Growth Update
|
|
Hi team:If you get a chance this weekend, go for a walk in the Hilltop and check out the activity there.
At least 3 of the new nestboxes are being used -- 2 by tree swallows, and 1 by bluebirds -- so somebody thinks the neighborhood is up and coming … Bird activity has been high, with Baltimore orioles, swallows, indigo buntings, warblers, eastern kingbirds, etc., all taking advantage of the many insects that now live in / around the native grasses. Early morning is the best time for viewing. Butterflies are out during warm sunny afternoons, including cabbage whites & yellows, swallowtails, rusty skippers and even a couple of monarchs .... they're feeding on the yellow field mustard, white peppergrass (not really a grass) and the blue flax that are flowering right now. Soon you should start seeing lavender hyssop, coreopsis, echinacea and black-eyed susans, if the deer leave them alone long enough to bloom (we'll see about that). Have a good weekend. Theresa Trapp, Treasurer
