Partly Cloudy, breezy with higher gusts in open areas, 90 degrees. Targeted potential Cloudless Sulphur and Sleepy Orange haunts without success…still a little early. Lots of American Coppers out, as well as my FOY Northern Broken Dash. Female Question Mark ovipositing and would not sit still. Surprisingly not a single Swallowtail…
