Tweeters,
We're planning some interpretive elements to support "Butterflies and
Blooms", a butterfly exhibit that will open at Woodland Park Zoo this
spring. We would like to illustrate a bird eating a Western swallowtail or
its caterpillar. Does anyone know for sure, or have first hand knowledge
of any bird species native to Western Washington that will eat Western
swallowtails or their larvae?
