Northampton Community Gardens - 7/19/26

[Andrew Griffith]

We took a trip out to Northampton Community Gardens today in search of a Common Sootywing.  We were quite successful and overall the gardens seem to be much more active than our last visit a couple weeks ago.  We only stayed for about an hour since we wanted to check out Forest Park (never been there) to see if we would have any Emperor luck.  No luck with that one, but we know the area now.  

6 Common Sootywings

1 Black Swallowtail

2 Spicebush Swallowtails

1 Eastern Tailed Blue
