[Ctleps-l] Sachem and other recent sightings

[Comins, Patrick]

I just had a male Sachem here at Stratford Point, nectaring in the new pollinator meadow that Sacred Heart put in where the clubhouse used to be. Other than a few Monarchs and the normal stuff (including Common Buckeye), not much out of the ordinary here of late...though I haven't been looking closely. 

Yesterday I stopped by Durham Meadows in the afternoon.  Plenty of Silver-bordered Fritillaries (~10), one fresh azure sp. a Viceroy and a couple of monarchs and Appalachian Browns in addition to the regulars.

I stopped by Hollenbeck Preserve on Monday evening.   I struck out on the Dion Skipper, but had a brief look at a brown sp.  A nice fresh Mulberry Wing was a highlight...unfortunately it eluded photos.
