[Ctleps-l] Deer Pond Farm Butterflies Sherman

[Patrick Comins]

Butterflies seen today at the grand opening of the Connecticut Audubon Society's Deer Pond Farm Sanctuary in Sherman:
Northern Pearly-Eye (8+)
Meadow Fritillary
Great Spangled Fritillary (many)
Dun Skipper (2)
Little Glassywing (2)
American Copper
Little Wood Satyr (many)
Cabbage Whites
Orange Sulphur
Summer Azure
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail 

We don't have all that much nectar on the property yet, but we are working on that, so the butterflies should only continue to improve.
