Sunday May 17: Field Trip at Breakneck Hill, Southborough

[Peter Loshin]

Join us as at 10:00 this Sunday to explore this grassland property to see what butterflies we can find. Past visits at this time of year have yielded such species as Silvery Blue, Eastern-Tailed Blue, Viceroy, Northern Cloudywing, Zabulon Skipper, Little Wood Satyr, Red-Spotted Purple, and Black Swallowtail. 

The weather forecast looks good -- low 80s and sunny -- and yesterday I saw at least a dozen sulphurs as well as four Silvery Blue butterflies (pictured below). There will also be birds!

Meet at the parking lot across from 75 Breakneck Hill Road, Southborough. Overflow parking available nearby at Community Gardens parking lot (though the trail from that lot is closed). 

Contact leader Peter Loshin at pe...@massbutterflies.org or (617) 549-4514 to reserve your spot.
