7/22 - I had a yard first Mulberry Wing briefly visit some coneflowers.
Very surprising since there's no suitable habitat for miles around. The
next day (7/23) I found a Common Buckeye at the same spot, which was
species #53 for my yard.

7/22 yard list:

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail 2
Spicebush Swallowtail 2
Cabbage White 3
Great Spangled Fritillary 1
Pearl Crescent 1
Silver-spotted Skipper 1
Wild Indigo Duskywing 3
Northern Broken Dash 2
Little Glassywing 2
Mulberry Wing 1
Broad-winged Skipper 1
Dun Skipper 2

7/23 additions:

Black Swallowtail (ovipositing on celery)
Gray Hairstreak
Common Buckeye
Common Sootywing

7/23 - I arrived at Durham Meadows in Durham to find the most productive
areas recently hayed so I stayed along Allyn Brook and adjacent fields.

Black Swallowtail 2
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail 7
Spicebush Swallowtail 4
Cabbage White 20
Clouded Sulphur 2
Summer Azure 1
Silver-bordered Fritillary 1
Pearl Crescent 150
Red Admiral 1
Viceroy 4
