Braemore Preserve Guilford CT

[Janine Bujalski]

Diane Adams and I wandered through part of Braemore Preserve in 
Guilford CT today.

When we started out around 10am or so it was pretty cloudy, very 
breezy and somewhat cool. We were not optimistic, but the sun came 
out and we were surprised at what we found when we hit sunny spots on 
the trail and when we finished up in the meadow. We hiked part of the 
Ridge Trail that goes to Reid's View and the Lunch Rocks and came 
back to Sieferts Meadow.

Here's what we saw:

2 cabbage whites
1 zabulon skipper (female, very fresh)
3 zabulon skippers (male)
1 red spotted purple
1 spice bush swallowtail
6 little wood satyrs
1 hobomonk skipper
3 peck skippers
4 skippers, the size of peck skippers, but we weren't able to clearly 
identify them
12+ pearl crescents
