Shawnee April 29th-30th

I had a great weekend with friends down in Shawnee, and I'm too tired to post the trip list, but here are some photos until I get enough sleep to type out a trip report..... Here are(from top to bottom) Gemmed Satyr, Dusky Azure, Silvery Blue, Juniper Hairstreak, Red-Banded Hairstreak, Cobweb Skipper, Eastern Tailed- Blue.

Shawnee Quick Trip - Silvery Blue!

Went to Shawnee today and found Gemmed Satyrs, silvery blues, spicebush swallowtail, all four common duskywings, buckeye, pearl crescent, red admiral, american lady, and a clouded sulphur, all were new year butterflies except the two duskywings from the previous post. I also had spring azure, tiger and zebra swallowtail, cabbage white, falcate orangetip, and I'm sure I'm missing something, but the satyr and the blue were two of the targets for the day, and in the hour or so of sunshine I was happy with what I got.
