Butterfly Sightings

[Epmanshell at aol.com]

Friday, 4/28- I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and went out  
to Lyme where I found the following butterflies:
 
Orange Sulphur (2)
American Copper (1) (My first of the year)
Gray Hairstreak (1) (My first of the year)
Eastern Tailed Blue (2) (My first of the year)
Spring Azure (7)
Mourning Cloak (1)
American Lady (1) (My first of the year)
Juvenal's Duskywing (8)
 
On the way home, I stopped at Bluff Head in North Guilford where I found  the 
following butterflies:
 
Cabbage White (2)
Falcate Orangetip (4) (all males)
Eastern Pine Elfin (1) (My first of the year)
Spring Azure (6)
Question Mark (My first of the year)
American Lady (1)
Juvenal's Duskywing (9)
 
The Eastern Pine Elfin was in the cemetery just south of the parking lot,  
and was nectaring on the flowers and resting on the ground, sunning  itself.
 
For those who are interested in visiting this site, Bluff Head is on Route  
77 in Guilford approximately 3-4 miles north of the intersection of Route 77 
and  Route 80.  The parking lot is on the west side of the road, about 1/4 mile  
north of the intersection of Route 77 and Great Hill Rd.
