[Ctleps-l] Northwest Corner

[Peter DeGennaro]

7/3 - My brother and I visited some NW corner locations, looking for
specialty species and hoping the recent rain would bring out rare
anglewings. Barely any puddles around though.

Hollenbeck Preserve, Canaan - highlights were 12+ Dion Skippers and 20+
Eyed Browns. There is a mowed trail that extends into the Dion habitat this
year.
