Hi Dave/Jane=0A=
Right after I sent my message=2C I looked up bluets in a different guide (I=
=0A=
had checked Newcombs first where the photo shows blue- should have looked a=
t the =0A=
text where it states it can be blue or white)- it was listed in =0A=
Petersons in the white flower section. I don't think I =0A=
remember seeing a full big patch with white flowers only=2C or if I have I =
don't =0A=
remember. There was not a bluish flower in sight at all. =0A=
I have not seen it all that often in the NE mainland. Checking the =0A=
range map in the old Flora of Nova Scotia it is not listed from this part =
=0A=
of the province. I have seen it in Trafalgar and now in Upper Kemptown =0A=
near the county borders. =0A=
Interesting Bluet is not in the index in my old Flora of NS: I found it =0A=
under Houstonia. It now has a different genus in the newer Flora of NS- Hed=
yotis =0A=
meaning sweet ear. =0A=
It is listed as Bluet in the index of the newer Flora (revised by =0A=
Zinck).=0A=
Anyway the Brown Elfin seemed attracted to the patch of white Bluets. =0A=

Hi Angus=2C Judy and all=0A=
=0A=
It is a bit of a tough year finding butterflies =0A=
in the Pictou-Colchester counties I have been in. I have documented 5 =0A=
species. Earlier in late April and early May I had a couple =0A=
Mourning Cloaks both new records for the squares I saw them =0A=
in. About 10 days ago I had a Gray Common on Big I.=2C I think =0A=
my first for Pictou Co.=0A=
=0A=
Since May 20=2C I have seen Brown =0A=
Elfins in 4 squares=2C 3 of which were new atlas records for the =0A=
square. I am finding most but not all in spruce bogs but not in big =0A=
numbers. I searched a bog between Tony River and Poplar Hill yesterday wi=
th no =0A=
luck for my efforts. I have a photo of one not on a bog but there was a w=
et =0A=
area nearby ( where I had seen Rusty Blackbird earlier in the =0A=
month). The Brown Elfin is on a plant that I am having trouble identifyin=
g. It =0A=
somewhat resembles a bluet=2C but it is white- has the four petals with y=
ellow =0A=
centres=2C maybe 8-10 cm tall=2C with small opposite and I think entire l=
eaves. I =0A=
have a photo- if someone is up for the challenge to ID=2C I could send it=
to =0A=
them. =0A=
The bogs are chock-full now with =0A=
Leatherleaf blooms and many bees are going to these flowers. =0A=
A Gray Jay was working this bog- maybe it was eating all the =0A=
elfins! In fact I had a bonus day for Gray Jays yesterday=2C seeing 8 =
=0A=
between Kemptown and Tony River. =0A=
=0A=
I have recorded both single records of =0A=
Cabbage and Mustard Whites- the former in "downtown" =0A=
Scotsburn on dandelion and the latter at the entrance to the Meadowville =
=0A=
Station section of the rails -trails and on wild strawberry. . =0A=
=0A=
A few ( ~5) Spring Azures have =0A=
been seen but not perched and moving too fast to catch. We need some warm=
er =0A=
weather!!. =0A=

Hi Judy:
Your Cabbage Whites may be indeed that but =0A=
Mustard White are more likely. The Cuckoo Flower is part of the mustard=
