Well this is what we saw on the last (or perhaps 2nd to last) b'fly
outing of the year. Actually rather slim pickings. I did squander the
best opportunity for a very nice image with a newly emerged Am Copper
on a near flawless purple wild aster but was a few ms too slow.
I'll post these anyways--usually works best in slide show (sometimes
have to try twice) and I think I have the gallery wide sharpening
settings OK

I wasn't anywhere close to the Bronze Copper when it was sighted. They
can be very showy. There are two flights and the second seems always
bimodal here. Perhaps I'll catch the tail end of it if I have a chance
to get over there.
The final count:
2 Red Admirals
14+ Clouded Sulphurs
7 Pearl Crescents
2 American Coppers
5 Silver-bordered Fritillaries
1 Bronze Copper (female)
1 Painted Lady
8+ Cabbage Whites
4 Monarchs
3 Eastern Tailed-Blues
7 Peck’s Skippers
1 Least Skipper
1 Unidentified Skipper
Still Chasing 'em, Mike
