Fresh Meadows Sanctuary, Cheshire

[Epmanshell at aol.com]

Saturday, 5/21- A visit to the above referenced site turned up he following  
butterflies:
 
Spicebush Swallowtail (1)
Cabbage White (16)
Clouded Sulphur (11)
Orange Sulphur (1) (my first of the year)
American Copper (1)
Pearl Crescent (8)
American Lady (4)
Juvenal's Duskywing (3)
Wild Indigo Duskywing (1) (very  fresh) (my first of the year)
Tawny-edged Skipper (5) (my first of the year)
 
On the way home, I stopped at Valley Service Rd. in North Haven where I not  
only found a very worn Spring Azure, but also a very fresh violacea  type 
Azure. Based on the date of the sighting, coupled with the fact that the  Azure 
was found in a poor soil area with numerous cherry trees, I am calling it  a 
"Cherry Gall" Azure.
