Cool!  I just saw my first Hickory Hairstreak last weekend (in the North
Carolina mountains) and took some photos --

It's a rare bug in NC, with only a handful of records.  

We also had scores of Banded, a Striped, a White M, a couple of Grays,
and one ultra-cool Early Hairstreak 
( http://www.duke.edu/~cwcook/pix/earlyhairstreak.html )

The trip report is here: http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CARL.html
