Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge

Took a short walk this morning at Assabet River NWR in hopes of seeing butterflies.  There were more dragonflies than butterflies along the main road.  I didn't photograph too many of them, because I don't like it when they land on pavement rather than natural plants.

I did see my first Silver-spotted Skipper of this year and several Cabbage Whites.
