March 2012 Sightings

Blueberry Azure would be, very unlikely, in this habitat. / probably, Holly Azure or 'Spring Form' Summer Azure per Dale Schweitzer

Blueberry Azure: gorgeous blue male; Eastern Comma: High up in tree; second one came along and they interacted

didn't get to field until 4:02 pm and still found four Orange Sulphurs!

45 degrees

41 degrees

Yes, 26 Orange Sulphurs!! / It was 41 degrees and sunny and they were all actively flying on their own. / Why???

seen after 3:25 pm / There was a mated pair amongst these sulphurs.

Eastern Comma: I id'd 2 down to species. I am assuming the other 3 are this also.; Mourning Cloak: Scattered around.

1st butterfly obs. here in 2012

American Snout: nice surprise!

Blueberry Azure: azures really breaking out; 'Summer' Spring Azure: clearly different on the ventral side than the later Summer Azure (digital images reviewed by David Wright) / 'spring form' of Summer Azure was flying in DC on February 29, 2012; American Snout: The place was lite up with snouts!!! / got many photos of a mated pair / watched courtship flights of several individuals

Nice looks at them to id.
