A visit to Hammonasset St. Park on Saturday, 9/7 turned up 13 species 
including a pair of Fiery Skippers.  The compete list is as follows:

Spicebush Swallowtail (1)
Cabbage White (7)
Clouded Sulphur (40)
Orange Sulphur (15)
Great Spangled Fritillary (1)
Pearl Crescent (1)
American Lady (2)
Common Buckeye (2)
Red-spotted Purple (1) (wings are very badly damaged)
Monarch (22)
Silver-spotted Skipper (1)
Fiery Skipper (2) (males)
Broad-winged Skipper (1)

Far and away, the most productive site was the butterfly garden.  12 out of 
the 13 species on the list, every species except the Pearl Crescent, was 
found at the butterfly garden.

On the way home, I stopped at Van Wilgen's Garden Center in North Branford 
and found two more Fiery Skippers, both males, on the Buddleia.
