Wanted desperately to see some butterflies today, but thought chances were poor, with windy conditions and more clouds than sun. But I did see a few. Cabbage whites flitting around in several locations. Nothing seems to bother them. The Pearl Crescent came out during a brief moment of sun and sat on some vinyl siding. The Monarch was in a fairly sheltered spot at Quarry Ridge Park in Fitchburg. The Clouded Sulphur was near the Military Ridge Trail in Fitchburg.
