help finding some western butterflies

[JerryMcW at aol.com]

Hi all,

I am planning a car trip to the west this summer from late June to late July 
in search of some butterflies that I have not seen and would like to 
photograph.  I will be in northwestern Wyoming (the Tetons) the last few days 
of June, northern California from about July 2 to July 18, and then in 
Colorado (Guanella Pass area) July 21 and 22.  In California I will be 
searching primarily for west coast endemics from Crescent City south to the 
Santa Lucia Range and east to Yosemite.   If there is anyone out there that 
might be able to give me some tips on where I might find them and their 
flight period it would save me some time searching blindly in unfamiliar 
territory.  Below is a list of my target species.  Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.  Please e-mail me privately.  Thank you.
