Both yesterday and then, again, this afternoon, I went over to Nottingham County Park to look for pollinators. I was thrilled yesterday afternoon to see more Great Spangled Fritillaries than I had seen earlier in the day at Peacedale Preserve. Then, today there were at least 30-50 Great Spangled Fritillaries right near the parking lot on the common milkweed. It was exciting for me. Also, there were skippers, bumble bees and other pollinators there. I will return multiple times this summer to see the wildlife including the birds.
