West Rock Ridge St. Park

[Grkovich, Alex]

Lenny and all, 

Tony Moore and I were in Rhode Island yesterday...no Duskywings at all, and
NO Elfins, except for a single fresh male Hoary Elfin at Wood River, Arcadia
Management Area.

The season looks late around here...even later than last year.

Juvenal's in usually out in eastern MA by the third week of April - or
earlier. Not one yesterday.

Alex
