New Sighting
Still low numbers despite a hot (80) and sunny day. A photographer I bumped into at Hessel’s spot on 72 says he got some shots of one but I did not see any despite sand Myrtle in good bloom. A fresh male azure could be an early emerger Summer Azure or the thing referred to as Atlantic Holly Azure but, in any event, not a Spring Azure. I did see one very worn and old Spring Azure
