Sunny and 68° with strong wind from 10:20 to 10:50am. I would have stayed longer but the wind was discouraging butterfly activity, and those I saw were mostly hunkered down in the ground cover. Two female Greenish Blues were observed including one ovipositing, plus a worn-looking male missing patches of scales on the underside of his wings.
