Coronado National Memorial, Cochise County, Arizona

[Hank Brodkin]

Leppers and Ranger Barb,

Butterflies seen today (3 February) on the trail to the cave with
Vicki's oak group included a good hatch of Common Checkered Skippers
(Pyrgus communis albescens), two Southern Dogface (Colias cesonia) and
one Common Blue (Celestrina argiolus).  Also a glimpse at what probably
was a Comon Buckeye (Junonia coenia).  The temperature was in the
mid-sixties and with rain on the way this promises to be a good season
for leps in the Memorial.
Cheers!!!
