Lighthouse Point Park, New Haven

[Epmanshell at aol.com]

Saturday, 9/11- I visited Lighthouse Point Park and found the  following 
butterflies:
 
Cabbage White (1)
Clouded Sulphur (7)
Orange Sulphur (3)
Gray Hairstreak (1)
Common Buckeye (3)
Monarch (6)
Wild Indigo Duskywing (2)
Fiery Skipper (2 males hanging out in the very well tended  CBA Butterfly 
garden)
Ocola Skipper (1) (my first of the year, nectaring on the  clover near the 
hawk watch site)
 
On Friday 9/10, Dori Sosensky had a Cloudless Sulphur at  Lighthouse Point 
Park as well.
 
As you can see, this year, the Park is clearly a good site to look for  
southern immigrant butterflies.  They will hopefully stay around for the  2nd 
Annual Hawk Festival that Diane Adams discussed in another  message.
