4-24 violets

4-24
The new green of my lawn is becoming flecked by Violets.
Pine Elfin butterflies are puddling on gravel roads and nectaring on Field Pussytoes.
Bright blue Spring Azure butterflies - not pictured - are also airborne.
Loons are back on their lakes.
The male flowers of Sweet Gale are opening. Tiny reddish female flowers will appear soon.
And for the last several days Broad-winged hawks have seemingly been everywhere. After wintering in Central and South America these intrepid travelers are back - but not within range of my camera!
