Hi Everyone,

 

Well, I'm finished with the photos I took yesterday in Lenox and Chesterfield. That should give everyone a rainy day activity.

 

As usual, I took far too many pictures, of which this is a tiny subset. You decide which ones you like best.

 

Lenox

 

The featured attraction here is the mustard white. Not too much mating activity, so the only sexed specimens were the females in "rejecting courtship" posture.

There were two "bonuses" in Lenox:

 

silvery blue [early bird!}

yellow warbler male [not so early bird]

Chesterfield

 

This is West Virginia white country. There was more courting activity here, making it more possible to ascertain sex. [This doesn't mean I got it right. Corrections welcome.]

The only "bonus" in Chesterfield was a single cabbage white which snuck in just to remind me one must be vigilant:

Sorry, no photos of the black flies.

 

And so, on to my backlog. Stay tuned.

 

Cheers,

Frank
