Last week's program for the Naturalist's Cortland SCOPE class was a triple-header.
1.) It began with an announcement by Al Bahl that SCOPE plans to design, plant and maintain a sanctuary of native plants near Mosquito Lake to attract and foster the growth and breeding of the Monarch Butterfly.
2.) The class was the perfect time to introduce the idea of a butterfly sanctuary, as the Monarch was the topic of the day. The Monarch must have milkweed to live and milkweed will be abundant in SCOPE's proposed garden. In the spring of the year the female butterfly will lay eggs, usually very conveniently on a milkweed leaf, and they will be fertilized by a male. Each egg should hatch and the larva (caterpillar) starts eating the plant on which it was born and doesn't stop chewing until it enters the pupa stage. Then it will form a chrysalis, which is suspended from a leaf. There it will hang for 10 to 14 days, at which time it will transform into a butterfly. This cycle will repeat 3 more times during the summer. Then the butterflies will begin their migration to live in the Mexican mountains. In the spring we'll see Monarchs in Northeast Ohio again.
3.) As if that weren't enough excitement for one day, the class was invited to hear a lecture and picture show with the residents of Lake Vista of Cortland at their clubhouse. Al Bahl, shown here in his birding outfit, spoke on four Woodpeckers: The Red-Headed, The Red-Bellied, The Pileated and the seemingly extinct but possibly renewing, Ivory-Billed Woodpecker. After this, a group of avid SCOPE members and Lake Vista residents followed Al to Turkey Run Trail in Mosquito Lake Park, where they sought out the woodpeckers and other birds and took note of the vegetation that is just beginning to bud out.
It was an exciting day for the class and Lake Vista residents. Anyone over 50 years of age, who is interested in visiting or joining the SCOPE Naturalist's Class can receive more information by phoning the SCOPE main office at 330-399-8846 or e-mailing Al at
