I am blogging from my property in the Appalachian foothills of Southeastern Ohio in beautiful Hocking Hills. I live in a large hardwood and pine grove forest I named Whispering Pines. I commonly refer to this property as "The Pines". Stay tuned as I report the wild things from here at the Pines.

Butterflies Everywhere

This year the Pines has more butterflies than all the years before. There are large stands of Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) which attract large numbers of butterflies especially Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, both yellow and black form.
