unexpected Hamden butterfly

[biobrand at comcast.net]

Today (May 21, 2009) while walking on Town (Hamden) owned land near Brooksvale Park I came upon a Pepper and Salt Skipper sunning on some ferns not too far from a powerline right-of -way! 

Skipper season has begun. In my field behind my house I observed fresh Peck's, Tawny-edged and Long Dash Skippers. Also, Wild Indigo Duskywing, Spicebush and eastern Tiger Swallowtails, American Copper, Pearl Crescent, Cabbage White, and Eastern tailed Blues.
