Butterfly sighting

Location: Fitchburg, McKee Park
Dane County

Overcast and cooler though still humid. In fact it started to rain at the end of my walk. (Rain much needed.) Most interesting part of the day was the large number of least skippers frequenting several stretches of grass. They were sharing this space with a large number of Eastern forktail damselflies.
