[Ctleps-l] Black Tiger in Stratford

[Comins, Patrick]

I just had a female (of course) black Tiger Swallowtail fly by my window at Stratford.  I was surprised at how immediately identifiable it was in flight.   I quickly grabbed my camera and ran around to the butterfly bushes we recently put in and sure enough she was nectaring there.  I was able to get some documentation shots, and maybe a couple of "good" shots as well.   I will be posting some on the Stratford Point Facebook page later this evening.   (You can message me privately if you aren't on Facebook and really want to see the shots...if you are on Facebook you should like our page!)  This was a huge tick on my bucket list to see one!
