Butterfly sighting

Location: Military Ridge Trail, north of Verona
Dane County

I stopped here on my way home, hoping to see some other butterflies than I'd seen in Fitchburg. The scenery was nice, cabbage whites were flitting around in large numbers, birds were singing, a cedar waxwing sat on a branch about 5 feet from me and stayed for about 2 minutes, but no other butterflies until I was about to leave. Just adjacent to the parking lot I located an area where there were about 8 least skippers. A nice end to my day.
