Field Notes

Notes:

There were two ... both were very docile and weren't startled despite the fact that 3 young children were captivated by them. We observed them resting on a blackberry vine about 9:30 a.m. It was about 60 degrees F and overcast sky.

This is great pic, I have a very similar spotting! Found in the evening and stayed until late the next morning, I think they stop when it gets too cold! I was literally bouncing it around picking berries, and it never budged. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7056651
