Hoping to find a thriving Freija Fritillary population deep in the site interior, but zero despite excellent conditions. There are scattered historical records from the site, but I suspect they've gone downhill. Also no Red-disked Alpines, although it would have been the very early part of the flight period. |

We saw at least 14 unidentified elfins. 4 Hoary Elfins were right by the Bauer-Brockway Barrens SNA sign north of Bauer Road, and about 5 Hoaries were in the right-of-way south of Bauer Road opposite that sign. All of the Henry's Elfins were west of Brockway Road and less than 0.6 miles south of Bauer Road. At least 6 Henry's Elfins were near each other approximately 200 meters southwest o the entrance to Wazee County park. The Frosted Elfins were more than 1/2 mile west of Hunter Haven Road. |

We also surveyed several sites west of Brockway Road and at "North Brockway East", Stanton Road, and the South Brockway ATV Trail and Motorcycle Trail Forest that are both just east of Brockway Road. We saw at least 35 unidentified elfins, and at least 150 unidentified duskywings. |

Giant Swallowtail was at wild raspberry bloom. True to form, it would not stop beating its wings while nectaring. Saw Common Ringlet yesterday and today on my five acres of old field vegetation. Sorry, no photo, but certain of ID. |

A Mourning Cloak shows up about this time every spring in our garden. He must be getting quite old.
