Moths mostly...

Good weekend for moths... my first Luna Moth ever and I had 2 in 2 days.


 The first one was very ragged and had lost most of the tail on its right wing. The second wasn't as worn. Ranger Lisa said the dark color on the forewing indicated it had not mated yet. Evidently, this is the mating season in Vermont.



The next new moth was Rosy Maple Moth...
 

My cell phone photo came out more purple than pink.

Covered Bridges half marathon was run Sunday morning from Woodstock to Quechee, lots of campers participated in that race.

We had a busy weekend, the park was about half full... thunderstorm rolled in Sunday afternoon, wind-shear brought down  several trees and flattened one tent and screen room, but luckily no one was injured. Lots of downed limbs to pick up today.

Pair of Red-eyed Vireo came down from the tree tops longs enough for me to get a good picture.
