And now for our very own first butterfly of spring

Photo of Mourning Cloak butterfly by Lysiane Ribeiro -- 3/19/10

Yesterday I posted Ed Lam's shot of an Eastchester Mourning Cloak butterfly and challenged Central Park nature lovers to find our very own. The challenge has been met.

Lysiane Ribeiro, M.D., M.P.H. sent an e-mail just a few minutes ago. Here it is, smiley and all:

Here you go Marie. :) I took this on Friday, 3-19-10, in the Ramble, right by the feeders.
