10/7/17 - Long Beach (Stratford) and Pleasure Beach (Bridgeport),
Peter DeGennaro and Jim Dugan, 2.5 hours, mostly cloudy, mid 70’s.
Peter and I independently arrived at Long Beach at almost the same
time (insert “brilliant minds" saying here). We walked almost all
trails on Pleasure Beach and walked different lanes for much of Long
Beach for best coverage. Count numbers were taken from west end of
town beach to west end Pleasure Beach to minimize counting any
individual twice.

Wild Indigo Duskywing - 2 (males, together)
No Swarthy found at site where Peter recently discovered a colony
Fiery Skipper - 1
Sachem - 7 (mostly males)
Cabbage White - 30
Orange Sulphur - 25
Clouded Sulphur - 2
Gray Hairstreak - 1
American Lady - 5
Painted Lady - 120
Common Buckeye - 50 (30 being Rosa)
Monarch - 252

Respectfully,
Jim Dugan with Peter DeGennaro
New Milford and Naugatuck
