SUMMARY:Annual Brown Elfin Walk
DESCRIPTION:We believe butterfly walks can be conducted as long as we uphold the recommended 6+ feet from one another and keep the group size to 10 or less. About the only time there could be crowding is when we are all trying to get a look at these very small butterflies at the same time. If we’re patient we should all be able to see these “limited time only” butterflies. \n\n\n\nWe will meet in the parking lot area near the map bulletin board. This will be a brief walk lasting about an hour. If there is interest we can look around for additional early butterflies. \n\n\n\nThis walk will take place even if the weather is cool and overcast. We have sighted the Brown and Henry’s Elfins under such conditions. Please reserve your space for this butterfly walk as spaces are limited\, and if we need to contact you about any changes to the event. If needed we will add additional times to accommodate more than 10 people. \n\n\n\nPlease wear sturdy shoes or footwear designed for hiking at the trail is gravel\, inclined\, and uneven. Bring with you any other necessities you may require for an enjoyable walk. Amenities at this park are composting toilets. \n\n\n\nThere are numerous fast food restaurants within a mile of the park. \n\n\n\nIf you wish to photograph the Brown Elfin be sure to have a zoom lens as the butterfly is quite flighty. A close-up is possible if you are willing to patiently wait near a laurel bush. Additional sightings of anglewings\, Juvenal’s Duskywings\, and Mourning Cloaks are possible.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Walk: Picture Creek Barrens
DESCRIPTION:Left to Right: Rattlesnake master (Eryngium yuccifolium)\, Tall barbara’s buttonns (Marshallia legrandii)\, False indigo (Baptisia australis)\, Downy wood mint (Blephilia ciliata)\, Smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata). \nMeet up for this walk will be at the Butner McDonald’s off of I-85N as the access location for this site has no address. We will be parked at the back of the lot and will not be inside the restaurant. We will then drive to the walk location from the restaurant. Note that the time of this walk is different from other Wednesday Walks. We will start at 11 AM. \nThis location has no trails\, no amenities\, and the restroom is standing or squatting behind a tree or shrub. We recommend that only those who have no mobility limitations or difficulties participate in this walk\, and are comfortable with very rustic conditions. If you have any special need or concerns about joining us in this walk\, please contact us. The lack of conveniences is well worth the extra effort required for this walk as not only does it provide an opportunity to see butterflies in situ\, but it also is a protected area of genuine Piedmont Prairie. The landscape is populated with an amazing assortment of native plants\, some of which can only be found in this location. \nButterfly species we expect to see include Juniper Hairstreaks\, Coral Hairstreak\, Great Spangled Fritillaries\, Zebra Swallowtails\, Common Buckeyes\, American Ladies\, and assorted grass skippers. Flora that should be in majestic\, splendorous bloom at this time of year: Asclepias tuberosa\, wild quinine\, rattlesnake master\, Baptisia autralis\, downy wood mint\, variegated milkweed\, dogbane\, smooth coneflower\, golden alexander\, and tall barbara’s buttons. \nWe strongly recommend wearing a bug and tick repellent of at least 40% DEET as we will be walking through tall grasses. Finding ticks on your body after the walk is guaranteed! We will also suggest bringing with you beverages and a packed lunch. Binoculars are optional as we will be able to get fairly close to most butterflies. This walk is an excellent photo op for the flora as well as for the butterflies. The following video was taken on May 26\, 2017 and is of a Zebra Swallowtail foraging on Asclepias tuberosa. \nhttps://www.backyardbutterflies.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/VID_20170526_125511408.mp4

As always\, we will bring with us any live caterpillars or butterflies that are currently available from our habitat. \nWe will have a special exhibit about woodland butterflies.

SUMMARY:Puddling Tiger Swallowtails at Brumley Forest NP
DESCRIPTION:[dimage attachment_id=”1634″ control=true auto-rotate=true zoom_level=”50″ anim_speed=”0.25″] \n**EVENT CANCELLED DUE TO FORECAST OF RAIN**\nMeet up for this walk will be the main parking lot near the map display. If there have been recent rains there is a chance we might encounter puddling butterflies at a known mud hole. If not\, there will be opportunities to experience some of the best butterflying in Orange County. \nBrumley Forest Nature Preserve has multiple areas in which to see large numbers of certain species of butterfly. We hope to have timed this walk perfectly to experience numerous Great Spangle Fritillaries in a quaint glade off one of the trails. There are “sweet spots” throughout the preserve in which one may find an abundance of Orange Sulphurs\, Silvery Checkerspots\, Carolina Satyrs\, and puddling male Tiger Swallowtails. \nBe sure to bring a camera as there is always something photoworthy while hiking through the preserve. We recommend wearing hiking shoes or boots as the trails can be muddy. Bug spray is optional as it is still early in the season. Please bring beverages or a snack if you require them. A questionable port-a-potty is available. No flush toilets or other amenities. The town of Hillsborough is about three miles away. \nVideo is of some puddling male Tiger Swallowtails observed on May 11\, 2017. \nhttps://www.backyardbutterflies.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/puddlingTigers.mp4

This location seems to only have butterfly activity in the early part of spring. At this park we have sighted some uncommon butterflies: Harvester\, Pine Elfin\, Dusted Skipper\, and large numbers of Juniper Hairstreaks. \nThere are also some interesting native plants\, like the lily-leaf twayblade to be found along the trails. We have also observed black rat snakes and toads!

SUMMARY:Wednesday Walk: NCBG
DESCRIPTION:Meet up for this walk will be in the plant sale area near the Visitor’s Center. On this walk you can opt to dress for comfort as the pathways are easy to walk. There are public restrooms and a water fountain in the Visitor’s Center. There are numerous restaurants near the Gardens. Parking is free. \nThe NCBG is renowned for its collection of native plants. If butterfly activity is sparse\, there will be plenty of spring ephemeral flowers to enjoy. They have an impressive collection of Baptisia plants that are always buzzing with fuzzy bumblebees. Honeybees can be observed foraging in the large clumpings of Aquilegia canadensis. \nIn the herb garden is a mass planting of fennel and if conditions are right\, we might see an Eastern Black Swallowtail lay eggs on the delicate fronds. Once we sighted a Zebra Swallowtail in the Gardens during the spring. Not unusual as there are two large paw paw trees near the carnivorous plants. In the fall we sighted a Brazilian Skipper foraging on phlox–a very unexpected sighting as they usually are seen near species of Cannas\, their host plants. \nDisclaimer: We are not affiliated with NCBG or have a partnership with them.
