Olympia Marbles still in flight, but area was dry and there were no spots of damp sand/gravel on the roads to attract mineralizing butterflies. Roadside lupine coming into good bloom; Arabis still in bloom. Saw no butterflies nectaring of hoary puccoon, lupine, or violets. Presumed Canadian Swallowtail was just seen in flight. FOY Dusted Skipper (on Crex Ridge Road) was a treat. A dozen flighty Erynnis went undetermined.
