[Ctleps-l] Stratford Point Swarthy Skipper

[Comins, Patrick]

I just had the first of the second brood of Swarthy Skippers of the summer at Stratford Point.   Near the usual place along the path to the north shore.

Also, some of the grass-leaved goldenrod is starting to bloom, but not the "famous" patch yet.

I actually suspect there are two species here, and it may be the Euthamia caroliniana that is blooming now and the E. graminifolia that is in the hot patch.
