 Butterfly Walk Cancelled

 Because of the cloudy, cool, and possibly later, rainy weather, few butterflies are likely to be flying today.  Consequently the Butterfly Walk scheduled for today at 1:00 pm is cancelled.

We saw both Western  and Pale Tiger Swallowtails  at various points along the hike but they were not in their usual numbers.  I was not able to catch a photo of any butterfly but a female Dimorphic Flower Longhorn Beetle Anastrangalia laetifica posed nicely for me.
