Scouting for the NABA count held on the 6th. Did not get the Hoary Edge (which was very fresh), or the Hobomok Skipper (which was very worn) the day of the count. Did not get the Black Sw here either the day of the count and it was an extremely fresh female. Bad year for Monarchs but I assume others have noticed that…

Christie Estate, Muttontown, NY
Nassau County, NY
my first visit to another spot veteran butterflyers say is a shadow of its former self. the county has no money to mow/maintain the large field at the end of the trail- vegetation is chest high. and apparently has crowded out larval host plants over the yrs.it was pretty- hundereds of orange milkweeds in bloom, along with common milkweed, dogbane,, black eyed susan etc and nary a butterfly on them from 10-1130AM..it was hot but not too hot to preclude butterfly activitiy. wood nymphs were definitely staying low in the ground cover to avoid the sun.

What a wonderful treat! In all my years of butterflying, I have never had any luck with Hairstreaks in west Michigan. The other day I was watching a Great Spangled Fritillary and I happened to see a little butterfly land on a branch not to far away. I was more than excited to see once I got a bit closer that it was a Striped Hairstreak. This is a rather rare find in Michigan and I was very happy to see it!

We checked various areas until around 11:45, with some folks leaving early due to the humidity and heat. Eleven species is a decent trip - especially this year when it seems most species are a bit off (especially skippers).

This is the Kissimmee Prairie Sanctuary NABA count and takes place inside the state park. Area is extremely wet from above average rainfall beginning in May. Heavy rains at 2:30 p.m. brought the count to a stop but not before we got some quality skippers on the list including this photo of Palmetto Skipper. Ten participants on the count.

Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve
Jasper County, IA
Time: 4:00-6:45 p.m.
Weather: 85-83 °F, mostly sunny, ESE winds largely blocked by hilly terrain.
Habitat: varied, including mesic prairie, mowed paths, oak-hickory groves, savanna, scrub-shrub, streamside woods, and constructed wetlands.
Notes: Minimum of 11 Striped Hairstreaks, including moderately worn males vigorously defending patches of hawthorns on sunny hillsides. Fresher-looking individuals were basking/resting down low in various shrubs (e.g., dogwoods). Edwards’ Hairstreaks were perching at a traditional hilltop along Bur Oak savanna. Coral Hairstreaks were around clumps of Black Cherry and American Plum. Banded Hairstreaks were scattered nearly throughout the wooded habitats, but mostly by walnuts and oaks. Regarding skippers on this visit, I did not find Dion Skipper at a wetland that held 13+ here in July of 2011.

I walked the outer grounds of the preserve as well as a quick trip inside the gate as far as the pond from 4:00pm to 5:45 pm. The earlier dearth of Eastern tiger-swallowtails appears to have finally been overcome by the second brood. I also had 3 Sleepy oranges, which seem to appear here yearly, though nowhere else in the area. There was a good diversity of species, just in time for the annual count on Saturday.

Bull's Island State Park

Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve Count Circle - Bull’s Island (40.409570, -75.036246) - this was my second visit to this location (on the first I was alone to check out the area and decided it was worth our while to go with all 4 butterfliers in the afternoon group. Paula Williams and Jim Springer covered the area south of the main drive, while Chris Williams and I covered the northern area along the towpath. There were a lot of fly-bys, and a good number of angle-wings (for this year). It was not the greatest diversity or number of individuals, but it did add some diversity to the overall count. My preliminary investigation (8:15-8:45 am) was folded into this count (two additional species sighted here on the earlier trip)

This was the third area that Jim Springer and I walked for the Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve Count Circle. It was my favorite of the three areas last year because of ample nectar sources and lots of large butterflies (particularly swallowtails and monarchs). We tried to get the Hunterdon Land Trust group to consider butterflying this area, but I believe that it is technically not a part of their holdings, so Jim and I had a quick bite of lunch and proceeded to start butterflying. There were literally dozens of butterflies on several nectar sources (particularly Teasel) right up on the edge of the parking lot. There were enough that I just had Jim start calling them out and I wrote them down. There was too little time for any really good pictures in the early going, because there were so many butterflies clustered at the parking lot. We had only about 45 minutes to cover the area, which was the smallest of the day.

Time: 3:00-6:30 p.m.
Weather: 88-86 °F, calm, mostly sunny.
Habitat: clay-dirt service roads and grassy paths through oak-hickory forest, second-growth, meadows, hayfields, creeks, and row-crop fields (all on public land). Monarda fistulosa and Pycnanthemum were the most heavily visited nectaring plants.
Notes: The photographed Horace’s Duskywing oviposited repeatedly on Quercus seedlings. Among the Great Spangleds, I saw a range from extremely worn to very fresh-looking individuals. The 24 for Little Wood-Satyr is much greater than I’d normally expect so far into July. The Bronze Copper represents an unusual occurrence for this site, although the species is found reliably elsewhere in southern IA.

Jim Springer and I led a group from the Hunterdon Land Trust (HLT) on part of the Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve Count Circle. This is the second year of the count and this area was the least productive area from last year, but this year, we were almost immediately greeted by a Hackberry emperor, which puddled in the parking lot and posed for several pictures while we waited for the HLT group (which administers the Preserve) to join us. Jim Springer followed a mysterious black-colored swallowtail that seemed to vanish, but it vanished near the creek where he observed 7 puddling Eastern Tiger Swallowtails! Everyone showed up around 10 to start the count, which we conducted for about 45 minutes before moving on to the next HLT location.

This area (40.42916667, -75.01972222) was the second area Jim Springer and I covered, working with the Hunterdon Land Trust (HLT) group in the Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Count Circle. It is the larger of the two properties we observed and we dedicated an hour and a quarter to walking the edges of several fields that were farm fields until recently. In the parking area, there was an old-field succession that had been planted in Timothy grass in 2012. Jim pointed out to the group that the abundance of Timothy grass remaining would make this a prime location for European skippers (though we are about 3 weeks to a month late) and it would be good to check the location next year in early June. We split the group at the halfway point, I split off to cover the less productive areas while sending the rest of the group to the fields I did not cover last year, that looked more interesting this year. There were several stands of milkweed, but I could not find a single monarch caterpillar. I did, however find a very cooperative Juniper Hairstreak and Jim found a Broad-wing skipper (two of the seven NABA had targeted as missing photos for Hunterdon County after 2000. The extra people helped to find more butterflies than we had here last year and a better diversity.

This was the fifth area (40.49777778, -75.04361111) I covered with Jim Springer. We were again joined by Chris & Paula Williams and were pleasantly surprised by the extent of the fields and the numbers of butterflies and nectar plants. It would have been easy to put several other butterfliers in the fields - there was too much area for the four of us to cover in one hour. We concentrated on two adjacent fields near the parking lot, splitting up and going in slightly different directions (I wandered between the others to keep the tallies up-to-date). It turned out to be the place with the most non-Cabbage white butterfly individuals and the highest overall diversity of the places covered.

We walked the road and trails on the outer grounds and around the pond from opening to noon. All of the Sleepy Orange were seen near the pond. 2 fresh, 2 worn. One female on and around host but not observed oviposting. Several nests of what seemed to be Balimore Checkerspot larva which were visible by binocular or camera lens seen on was probably some sickly looking turtlehead.

Delaware & Raritan Canal Lands @ Old River Road

I had checked this area (40.342090, -74.941403) out last year to see whether there might have been some chance for Sleepy orange butterflies at the same latitude as the Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve, but across the Delaware River in NJ. There is a large area of old-field lands that had a decent amount of milkweed and dogbane, among other species of nectar plants in these fields, but there were few butterflies when Jim Springer and I checked it out last year. This year, a great deal more vegetation is in the northern end of the fields, but the ring of trees surrounding the fields (and/or a mowing) has resulted in later-blooming milkweed and dogbane in the southern portion of the field, supporting a large number of big butterflies. I spent an hour and a half walking around the northern portion of the field and saw a lot of butterflies.

Prather Ranch at Ball Mountain Road, 6.5 miles SW of the town of Macdoel, CA
Siskiyou County, CA
For two years in a row I found a few Great Spangled Fritillaries along the road leading up to Ball Mountain. These sightings were in a forested area and I knew that Great Spangled Fritillaries are an obligate wet meadow cruiser, so I went looking for the meadow habitat that these frits were coming from. Sure enough the meadows at the base of the climb up to Ball mountain had plenty of thistle hostplant and 18+ Great Spangled frits. This is a great locale for this wonderful fritillary.
I also saw my first-of-season Woodland Skipper at the same locale…

Van Buren County, IA
Weather: 81-79 °F, partly cloudy to mostly sunny, with light NW winds.
Habitat: woodland borders, second growth, uplands, hayfields, ponds, gravel roads, restored prairie, and floodplain woods/meadows. Medicago sativa (along roads), Trifolium pratense, and Monarda fistulosa were the most prevalent and popular nectar sources.
Notes: The Painted Lady was actually my first of the summer. The Juniper Hairstreaks were up fairly high in a Juniperus grove by the SW parking lot. Fiery Skipper and Sachem had recently invaded and were conspicuous in roadside habitats. The second brood of Zabulon Skipper was out in full force at dense forest edges. Similarly, as is often the case in late July-Aug in southern IA, fresh-looking Delaware Skippers were perching alertly in meadows.

There is still little milkweed in flower as can be witnessed by the Two-spotted Skipper having to take nectar from Timothy.
