There are a lot of Swarthy Skippers about at Stratford Point right now.  I didn't even attempt to count, but I've had them along the driveway, on the new trail behind the pines, in the Two Roads nectar garden near the garage, the Sacred Heart Pollinator Meadow (inside the deer exclosure along the driveway), on the plantings around the office and in their usual spot along the path to the north shore.   Seems like they are having a great year or are responding to our efforts to improve butterfly/pollinator habitat here at the Point.  I've even had multiples in view at the same time.
