Happy Spring

Full moon early morning 13 April 2025

As if the April full moon & a sunny day weren’t enough, the unofficial start to Erie County, Pennsylvania spring kicked off Sunday with the first BirdingPI.com butterfly sighting of the year at Presque Isle State Park, featuring a beautiful Eastern Comma (Polygonia comma) along the Dead Pond Trail:

Also celebrating with a nice sighting of Chipping Sparrow by the A Trail trailhead:
