Chaffinch Is. Park Butterfly Sightings

[Epmanshell at aol.com]

Saturday, 8/9- After visiting Broken Arrow Nursery in Hamden with Bill  
Banks, in the afternoon I drove down to Chaffinch Is. Park in Guilford where I  
found the following species of butterflies:
 
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (1)
Cabbage White (1)
Summer Azure (1)
American Snout (1)
Question Mark (2)
Tawny Emperor (1) 
Broad -winged Skipper (3)
 
The American Snout and Tawny Emperor were found in the spot where  Hackberry 
Emperors are traditionally found.  The Tawny Emperor landed on a  flat rock 
and was basking in the sun, thereby allowing me to confirm the  identification.  
I didn't see any Hackberry Eemperors today; presumably  they are between 
broods and will emerge in the next 1-2 weeks.
