Butterfly sighting

May 10 2014

Scott and Ann Swengel

Location: Bauer-Brockway Area barrens
Jackson County

9:18-11:08 am and 1:40-2:03 pm, 60-78 degrees F, 100% sun, wind NW 0-5 mph. It seems like Hoary and E. Pine Elfins might be having a low abundance year. The Hoary Elfin was in Wazee County Park and the Henry's Elfin was in South Brockway West doing spiral flight with an unidentified elfin. Seeing a Clouded Sulphur before our first Hoary Elfin of the year was the biggest surprise. One pictured Olympia was nectaring on Early Buttercup
