Washington County: Limestone and Telford

Late this morning, I checked the area covered by Rick Knight a couple of days ago, adding in a few spots not mentioned in his post.  The longspurs were still findable, although it took me about forty minutes.  Several other noteworthy species put in an appearance as well.  Highlights:

Blue-winged Teal (5, Precision Boulevard)
Ruddy Duck (pond adjacent to Westview Elementary School parking lot)
Northern Harrier (Keebler Road)
Peregrine Falcon (Keebler Road)
Eurasian Collared-Dove (East Smithdale Boulevard, Limestone)
Horned Lark (19, mostly Keebler Road)
American Pipit (6, Keebler Road)
Lapland Longspur (3, Keebler Road).

Thanks for the post, Rick.

Please excuse this email since it does not relate to butterflies. I thought since this group is very aware of invertebrates that you may be able to help with this new problem. Please see the attached document about an exotic insect that feeds on legumes (including kudzu but may feed on soybean and possibly native legumes). The problem is currently in Georgia but as you know, exotics spread.

Hi Larry,
It looks like it could be bulbous buttercup (Ramunculus bulbosus)...but I could be wrong.

I was surprised to see this nice of a buttercup on a cool Nov 23 morning at Steele Creek Park in Bristol, TN. Is there something else it could be? Is it identifiable to species?

Chuckle. I'm soooo good at forgetting the attachments! I'll try again.
Larry,
    Don't be surprised. I'm still seeing occasional, solitary blooms along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Alleghany County, NC. Nature seems to be doing strange things this year, or maybe it's not so unusual after all. Perhaps that's just the kind of year we're having.
    Attached are a mullein making a bloom stalk and a lovely spotted knapweed. To see them large, remember to go to the Yahoo group site and check out the "Attachments" button on the left side of your screen. I took the photos Saturday, November 21, 2009.

Here are a couple photos of the skin from the Scarlet King Snake (Lampropeltis triangulum elapsoides) that was found on Shelby Street near Spring Street in Bristol, TN on 30 Sep 2009. It had been hit by a car and was dead when I got to it.

Send Email Send Email
 
A number of people that are subscribed to TN-Butterflies are quite interested in moths. This brings the question, should we start a TN-Moths listserv? I would be willing and able (I think) to be the administrator for a TN-Moths listserv. I would rather see someone else do it, so don't be shy if you are interested in that. I would like to get an idea of how many think they would subscribe. Please let me know if you are interested in this. Thanks.
