mcpd_biologist's Identifications

This is a new butterfly to me so please check my ID. I couldn't get a spread wing picture. I found it in the grass along the trail near the creek in Allardale park.

Not my photo, sent by SO. Got inside of a building, captured and released outside. Workers suspect breeding population as different individuals have been observed inside and outside.

Montville trails. Several trees with light/moderate striping. Not many beech at this park, and not all beech in this stand affected

Found dead on trail at Alderfer-Chatfield Wildlife Sanctuary, after snow melt.

Brief description of what you observed

Not sure what this is. Seemed too fast and long for a muskrat. Did not look like a beaver but both are also in the same area.

21" long; body 13", tail 8"; apparently died of natural causes

Found in a Barn Owl pellet in a nest box.

Hubbard Valley, Medina County Park District
