Euro skip

[JH]

Greg - They were abundant at Bent of the River during the CBA Field Day.  But, they usually are.

    Given that they're always very common, has anyone else noticed European skippers being super-abundant in the past week. I'm finding them in all kinds of marginal areas like the edges of wetlands, and in a couple of small dry fields on either side of a road in Middlebury (c half-acre total) I was so impressed with the numbers I roughly counted and got a conservative 1,500!! They were on Lotus corniculatus and Viccia sp. In some case they were pushing each other off individual flowers.
        Also had Painted Skimmers at a wet meadow in Middlebury.
