Freaking out on North Carolina Butterflies

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail

My Spring migration started way earlier than the ridiculously slow and awful and shitty New York season as I spent the past couple of weeks in North Carolina with my family. (NY is finally catching up as I write this) The birding was pretty good and the butterfly action was even more enjoyable for me. Butterflies mostly around Fayetteville.

Prothonotary Warblers were
in numbers and ready to shank
a motherfucker

Silver -Spotted Skipper

Summer Tanager:
not the most graceful looking singer,
 but has become one of my  favorites
nonetheless
