These were all 1st's for me here and the Broad-winged are a lifer.

Also spotted;

 

11 Mulberry Wings

 4 Black Dash

 3 Northern Broken Dash

 2 Dun Skippers

 5 Viceroys

26 Pearl Crescents

19 Common Wood Nymphs

Also at work today in Chicopee during lunch I spotted 10 Wild Indigo Duskywings in a large patch of Crown Vetch in our parking lot.
