We had a hot but productive First Sunday of the Month walk at Laurel Hill County Park on Sunday, starring a family of Common Ravens high on the cliff.
    Non-avian species included a FOY Green Darner Dragonfly and three butterfly species — Black Swallowtail, Cabbage White and Common Sootywing.
    Full report follows.
