It is a year for tent caterpillars. Never uncommon, this year they seem to be everywhere on the wild plum trees. Black-billed cuckoo numbers usually increase when it is a good tent caterpillar year, so am hoping to see lots of them around.
The caterpillars turn into a very handsome moth: http://www.pbase.com/laroseforest/image/151328894
