First Frost!

Sorry this is so late, but there was an issue with certain websites on the internet today, which you may have heard about, that prevented me from uploading any pictures earlier today.

Anyway, it was a very nice, if chilly morning, in Estabrook Park for our weekly wildlife walk. The temperature was 40°F at sunrise, the skies were clear, and the air was still, so radiant cooling was able to freeze the dew onto the grass for the first time this fall. Once the sun came up, however, those same conditions allowed things to warm up quickly, and one of the amazing sights that enabled was this red admiral butterfly on the lawn north of the beer garden.

It’s late now, and I’ll show you the rest of the pictures tomorrow. Good night!
