Backyard mothing still very poor
I spent the weekend in Lethbridge but due to storm warnings on Friday night I didn’t put the light trap out. Of course, as it turned out, the weather was fine 
. I did put the trap out on Saturday night but there were just 3 moths of 1 species. Namely, they were all Rustic Shoulder-knots (Apamea sordens). Back in Calgary, the light trap was completely empty last night! The weather doesn’t look that great tonight but I should have a trap out. Here’s hoping…
As there are so few moths about I’ve added a photograph of a Black-crowned Night-Heron from the weekend. It was taken at Pakowki Lake in southern Alberta.
