Northern Fiery Skipper Records

[Donald A. Davis]

records of Fiery Skipper (Hylephila phyleus) this year, so maybe it
foretells a pattern.
 
> The first Presqu'ile Provincial Park (Ontario) butterfly count was held
> on July 7th. The park is a peninsula (tombolo) that juts out into Lake
> Ontario - about 150 km east of Toronto on the north shore of Lake
> Ontario. New butterfly species for the park spotted that day were fiery
> skipper and gray hairstreak.
 
Also seen on Friday was a rare southern bird species (tufted titmouse).
