Today Great-spurred Violets brightened the forest floor. The feather of a woodpecker - perhaps a victim of predation - flecked the moss.
Blackburnian Warblers and Ovenbirds were among the birds seen. This utility pole had served as a bear's marking post - to the detriment of the pole. And Cabbage White butterflies were intent on future butterfly generations.

Love this blog! Thanks so much! I'd like to add that the butterflies are not Cabbage Whites. They are West Virginia Whites. Was there toothwort in the vicinity? Would love to see the butterflies and the plants.
