ARIZONA SIGHTINGS

[BMW60]

Hey folks, one more report from Tucson.  Yesterday I hiked Pima Canyon
Trailhead on the northwest side of Tucson.  Temps were in the upper 60s, slight
breeze with a few clouds in the distance.  It couldn't have been nicer for
hiking, though the temps were marginal for a real show.  The species seen are
listed  below.

Eurema mexicana--Mexican Sulpher
Eurema nicippe--Sleepy Orange
Colias philodice--Clouded Sulpher
Zerene cesonia--Southern Dogface
Nathalis iole--Dainty Sulpher
Pontia sisymbrii--Spring White
Pontia protodice--Checkered White
Euchloe cethura--Desert Orange-Tip
Anthocharis sara--Sara Orange-Tip
Vanessa atalanta--Red Admiral
Vanessa annabella--West Coast Lady
Phyciodes texana--Texan Crescent
Texola elada--Elada Checkerspot
Hemiargus isola--Reakirts Blue
Celastrina ladon--Spring Azure
Libytheana carinenta--Snout
Danaus gilippus--Queen

Species are up.  The Sara Orange-Tips were out by the dozens.  I noted 4 Desert
Orange-Tips, a high for me.  The Queen was an early surprise.  Thats it folks. 
Looks like plenty of reports are comming in from all over so you Yankees wont
need any more reports from me.  Ya'll take care,  Bill
