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

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
