Tucson sightings

[BMW60]

I took a hike yesterday (19 Feb), up Fingerrock Trailhead.  The weather was 74
degrees, clear as a bell and a trace of a breeze.  Perfect.  What a difference
a few good days in a row make.  Unlike the hard freeze near Willcox Arizona I
subjected myself to on my annual Javelina hunt.  (Collared Peccary).  The
following is a list of species observed;
Sisymbrii White--Pieris sisymbrii---4 Specimens 
Anthocharis pima--Desert Orange-tip---1
Anthocharis sara--Sara Orange-tip---20
Colias philodice--Clouded Sulpher---6
Colias zerene--Southern Dogface---5
Libytheana bachmanii--Snout---25
Agraulis vanillae--Gulf Fritillary---1
Vanessa atalanta--Red Admiral---1
Asterocampa leilia--Empress leilia---10
Leptotes marina--Marina Blue---5
Eurema mexicanum--Mexican Sulpher---3

Systasea pulverulenta--Arizona Powdered Skipper---25
Copaeodes minimus--Minimus Skipperling
Unidentified Duskywing---3

All in all, pretty good.  I did manage to catch one of the Sisymbrii Whites in
my straw hat.  You do what ya gotta do.  See ya,  Bill
