It seems that the unseasonable weather has come to an end, with snow falling here at the Nature Center. Many amphibians and reptiles had been sighted during the past week's warm spell. Larry observed a Common Gartersnake on 11/2 in Winooski, Painted Turtles on 11/6 in Shelburne, and a Green Frog on 11/8 in Essex. Also seen on that date in Essex was a lone female Monarch butterfly!
