Today, 7/17 I was back there for another survey. I decided to check out the flower plantings (Salvia and Coneflower) at the renovated beach pavilion. It would have been a miracle if the Zebra was nectaring there. Not much but a Cabbage White. But adjacent is a patch of blooming Milkweed, where I saw 2 dark Swallowtails feeding. One had a pronounced amount of shimmering blue on the upper hind wing, so I took a few photos. I just checked the Glassberg book, and it was my life PIPEVINE SWALLOWTAIL! That beach sure is providing some pleasure!</div><div><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
