The 100th Post...

Howzat for a century! Nice to get the 100th post safely in the bag.

Not much going on this morning. In fact the past week has been very quiet, way too nice and sunny with clear cool nights. No good for bringing down birds or enticing the moffs into the trap.


I did catch this rather nice Maple Zale though. This is a fairly common moth in the back yard from mid spring through the summer.


This a a small twig-like tortrix moth that I've yet to identify. At first I thought it might be Pseudexentera faracana, then I considered Epinotia timidella - but it doesn't look quite right for either. Shall work on it later.

The only new bird for the year was a Least Flycatcher (see above). otherwise there was a nice singing White-crowned Sparrow, the odd Yellow-rumped Warbler and a Barn Swallow.
