Quick Southboro Butterfly Stop

I took a very short lunch break over in Southboro, walking along the Sudbury Reservoir Trail around the entrance to Beals Preserve.  There's a lot of good Joe Pye Weed along the channel and I was hoping for a monarch sighting.  No such luck....but I was briefly excited (and fooled) by a Viceroy.
