East Lyme Butterflies- Where are the Duskywings?

[Grkovich, Alex]

aAn (?) interesting note: I have seen absolutely NO Duskywings (Erynnis) of
ANY species at all so far this spring, either in Mass. or in Rhode
Island...The season appears to be even later than in 2002. I spent a couple
of hours at the Boston Hill, North Andover, Essex Co, MA yesterday (60 F, 10
mph N wind) and saw only a few Brown and Eastern Pine Elfins; along with one
male Eastern Tiger Swallowtail and a few "Cabbages" (big deal, eh?). The
blueberry is only now just beginning to come into bloom...

Field trip is planned back to Rhode Island on Friday and to CT on
Sunday...I'll keep everyone posted...
