[Andrew Griffith]

Took a trip today to Nasketucket in Mattapoisett today to look for Red-banded hairstreaks and White-M hairstreaks.  

As usual, Nasketucket continues to disappoint compared to previous years.  I don't know what is going on there.  The day was perfect.  Full sun, high 70's, not much wind at all.  

3 Red-banded hairstreaks

3 Monarchs

14 Clouded Sulphurs

1 Tawny-edged skipper

2 Zabulon Skippers (1 male, 1 female)

1 Silver-spotted Skipper

1 Summer Azure

1 Common Wood Nymph

1 Broad-winged Skipper
