I went to one of my favourite stillwaters fishing today. I saw lots of tro=

they were feeding on. I raised many but went away empty handed. I had a =
good day though in that I saw a spring peeper of which they are not often e=
asy find. I had other frog species as well and spotted loads of tadpoles. =
I also saw about five or six species of butterflies. I was only able to c=
apture a photo of one though=2C which I believe is a pine elfin. I'll veri=
fy this once I download the photos. I also saw my first tiger swallowtail =
for the year today. As well there was one dragonfly active. I need to key=
that out from the picture as well. It was a reddish-yellow one that was a=
bout an inch and a half long. The resident beaver scared the daylights out=
of me as usual. I had my head down and it made me kink my neck as I broug=
ht my head up too rapidly. It still aches but snapped nicely to aleviate t=
he initial pain. Birding was good although I did not have my binoculars. =
