[Ctleps-l] This weekend at Steep Rock

[Peary Stafford]

Great couple of days at Steep Rock this weekend:
    On Saturday we recorded 14 West Virginia Whites at the Hidden Valley
Preserve (our previous record high was 8).  Sunday we didn't count as we
were leading a wildflower walk but they were numerous then as well.
     Spring Azures were also out in numbers-- with one very dark  form --
and the wildflowers are about to put on a show better than any in recent
memory.
     Saturday BK had 3 American Ladies searching for ovipositing spots on
the Pussytoes at the Boy Scout Camp but no Elfins.  Today we had 4 Eastern
Pine Elfins there and no Ladies!  The Elfins were very cooperative as
photographic subjects.
     Honorable mentions include an Eastern Tailed-Blue Saturday and an
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Sunday.
Peary and BK
