><h6><em>Photo above: Jessica Linton<\/em><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>WPC is working to bring the mottled duskywing butterfly back to Ontario as part of the Ontario Butterfly Species at Risk Team. Together, we are spearheading an innovative effort to reintroduce the duskywing to Pinery Provincial Park in southwestern Ontario, the first reintroduction of its kind in Ontario. The program began in 2021, and celebrated its fourth year of monitoring on May 6th, 2024. Incredibly, the reintroduced population at Pinery has reverted to two generations of adults throughout the summer. This year, Griffyn Leyson joins the monitoring team at Pinery to conduct a new survey method called distance sampling and described a day in the life of the mottled duskywing field crew, May 10, 2024.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ljhc1r1v-2a5adf835b0e6f042b8f6a4919709c88'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The sweet call of\u00a0 ovenbirds drifting through the forest was enough to wake me from my sleep. Rolling out of bed, I glanced out of the window to see a bright morning unfolding. Clear, crisp, and sunny, it was looking like the ideal conditions for butterfly activity.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the typical excitement that comes from good weather, today was an especially exciting day for another reason. Today was the first time our team would be going into the field to implement a new survey method for our crew called distance sampling.<\/p>\n<p>What is distance sampling? The goal is to record the density or abundance of populations\u00a0 within suitable patches of habitat. For our program, this is achieved by walking a series of parallel lines that run through areas where duskywings are known to inhabit because their larval foodplants, New Jersey tea and prairie redroot, occur in abundance. Any duskywing species that land across our path are noted, along with the distance they were first spotted from the imaginary line on which we stand. This technique has been modified from other studies to provide better estimates than traditional, more intensive techniques like marking butterflies, on the population size of mottled duskywings.<\/p>\n<p>After packing our gear and applying a thorough coat of sunscreen, the team and I jumped on our bikes and headed out to our first site of the day. Along the way, we were greeted by the cheery melodies of eastern towhees in the roadside shrubs and the burry calls of scarlet tanagers in the forest around us. With high hopes, we arrived at our first sampling transect of the day.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lxbyicw1-6e3c9a0a5cdf3386239eb39495204634\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lxbyicw1-6e3c9a0a5cdf3386239eb39495204634 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lxbyicw1-6e3c9a0a5cdf3386239eb39495204634 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lxbyicw1-6e3c9a0a5cdf3386239eb39495204634 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_one_full  avia-builder-el-last'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-47500 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-47500 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/w-tanager.jpg' alt='' title='w-tanager'  height=\"630\" width=\"1200\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_2'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-42622'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lxbyjp7b-bd84a80190980d16f38d5f5c3d8dc0a3'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Scarlet tanager welcomes the morning as the team begins our surveys for mottled duskywing<\/em><i><br \/>\n<\/i><\/p>\n<p>After placing our bikes behind a bush, we unpacked our gear, which included a marked aluminum pole used to estimate the distance of butterflies from the observer and, of course, our butterfly nets.

In 2019, my family sold our cottage, located at the south end of the Pinery on a small strip of land locally referred to as &#8220;Chicken Island.&#8221; For 18 years, I spent every summer here enjoying the idyllic sunsets and rolling dunes. There is perhaps no place on earth as special to me as the Pinery.<\/p>\n<p>But little did I know that my connection to the Pinery would be rekindled this summer in the most amazing way.<\/p>\n<p>As a child, I knew I wanted to work to help conserve nature, but never in my wildest dream did I think I would be so fortunate as to contribute to the conservation of an endangered species in my childhood backyard.<\/p>\n<p>Participating firsthand in the mottled duskywing butterfly recovery process and seeing tangible results is a feeling that I will never forget.<\/p>\n<p>It is a privilege to be able to contribute to not just a monumental conservation effort, but a successful one in a place so special to me and my family.<\/p>\n<p>While the work itself is incredibly rewarding, there are many other perks about living in the Pinery! The amount of nature you get to see during fieldwork is amazing. In one day we saw a female eastern milksnake, a rogue mottled duskywing who made it to our campsite, and later that evening, the northern lights!<\/p>\n<p>Being part of this project is a dream come true in every sense of the word.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-4wc2z91-b849d715acb262e96c59755b8fd470b0 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_section  blog-inner avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-42622'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-4cserdh-70623b26a8e5168e40659ca1a352df3b av_one_full  avia-builder-el-15  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  author-section first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-ljhd0ctf-39b59e396e1c4715d5fd8663d0ea7749'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Griffyn Leyshon<\/h3>\n<p><em>2024 Crew &#8211; Mottled Duskywing Pinery Reintroduction Program at Pinery<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Griffyn Leyshon is a Environmental &amp; Resource Science student at Trent University.
