5/17 - after work, I met with my brother at Walden Preserve in Salem. We
stumbled upon a fresh PEPPER AND SALT SKIPPER seemingly out of habitat in
the woods, next to a maple swamp, but no photo as it flushed when I went to
get my camera out of my backpack.
We also had three Frosted Elfins, one of which showed nicely after laying
some eggs on Wild Indigo:

Here' our full list; we started out at about 5 pm
Tiger Swallowtail 1
Frosted Elfin 3
Hairstreak sp 1 - flew high into a cedar so probably Juniper but may have
been another Frosted
Eastern Tailed Blue 2
Pearl Crescent 1
American Lady 1
Dreamy Duskywing 1
Pepper and Salt Skipper 1
Also, I visited Walden late in the day on 5/16 and lucked into a WOOD
TURTLE, which was a life turtle species for me:
