Sighting during the week of Aug 13 to 17, 2012. Two rainy days with out sightings. Today was a magnificant day with a nice breeze off the lake blue skies perfect weather for butterfly hunting. Many Mourning Cloak by the lake in the mud getting their minerals. One landed right in front of me on a rock saying, "Here I am, I want my picture taken." Most of the BF were in the weeds or bushes around the lake. Many Skippers.
Mike, I still have problems with the skippers. I hope these photos might be clear enough to ID. Still working on learning Skipper characteristics. This web page has videos that help in case you haven't seen the page: http://www.rkwalton.com/skippers/field_skippers.php. J
