[Ctleps-l] Some Variety (NY)

[Steve Walter]

For more reference, a comparison to my post of three weeks ago. Same place,
same area covered. Better numbers of the species that should have peaked
earlier in the month. Interesting seeing Pine Elfin and Red-banded
Hairstreak together. I don't think I've done that before. I only looked for
butterflies once between these outings. A picture from that trip, in search
of West Virginia White, can be seen at my web site on the butterfly page

This is from Long Island (Edgewood Preserve, Commack area), but maybe useful
for reference.

1 Cabbage White

1 Eastern Pine Elfin

1 Northern Azure

4 Cherry Gall Azures

4 Eastern Tailed Blues

2 American Ladies

2 Juvenal's Duskywing (unusually low number for the area covered; maybe a
testament to a late season)

 

It's not a whole lot, but it's something. And after the long cold season,
it's better than nothing. Finally got to photograph a few butterflies, after
earlier in the day photographing Blue Grosbeaks and Red Fox kits on Fire
Island - certainly an interesting variety of photo subjects.
