[Ctleps-l] CBA field trip - Osbornedale State Park

[Peter De Gennaro]

8/29 - There were 17 participants on Saturday's CBA walk at Osbornedale
State Park in Derby. Very dry out in the fields; most of the ironweed has
finished blooming.

17 species for the trip:

Black Swallowtail 1
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail 1
Spicebush Swallowtail 1
Cabbage White 5
Clouded Sulphur 10
Orange Sulphur 1
Gray Hairstreak 1
Red-banded Hairstreak 2
Eastern Tailed Blue 1
Great Spangled Fritillary 10-15
Pearl Crescent 3
Red Admiral 1
Silver-spotted Skipper 3
Wild Indigo Duskywing 4
Peck's Skipper 1
Tawny-edged Skipper 1
Zabulon Skipper 1

Afterwards, a few of us went to check on the Red-banded Hairstreak spot
near the parking lot. There was more shade there than earlier in the trip;
we had two of them including one that was willing to land on us:

We also had an Eastern Comma on buddleia at the Kellogg Center.

When I got home, I had a Red Admiral and a Monarch in the yard.
