A 2 day report. Sunny & low to mid 70s. Elevation was 7000+ feet. This area like most of California & Arizona is running about a month late. Many spring species were seen versus some that are normally seen the 1st week of June from previous years. Several no ID small whites observed. Thought to be a marble species. One no ID duskywing with white band.
