richard_bulva's Identifications

Cockroach Bay butterfly count with Don Fraser and Clint Gibson. We parked along 19th Avenue NW -- the mitigation bank is off-limits -- and iNatted the road shoulders. The saltmarsh mosquitoes were pretty horrendous. The weather at the start was sunny, 92 degrees ("feels like" 101!) with a light breeze. Butterflies were still scarce, but the group got some nice species such as Fulvous Hairstreak, Mangrove Buckeye, Western Pygmy-Blue, and Southern Skipperling; I missed all but the latter species! We left at 1142 and headed to E.G. Simmons Park.
