Imperial Moth Caterpillar

A 10 cm Imperial Moth caterpillar was feasting on some plants to the right of the platform for the past few days.


In other news, the hawk migration is well under way. Ospreys and American Kestrels have been pouring through by the hundreds. Sharp-shinned Hawks, Cooper's Hawks, and Merlin have begun to migrate in small numbers.

CVWO's Monarch Biologist and Educator, Cole Gandee, has started counting Monarchs and searching for individuals to tag.  I will post the schedule of his education presentations soon.
