Hi all=20
After doing a bird survey this morning in McLellans Brook , I noticed it was=
 warm enough for butterflies to be about and grabbed my camera for a few sho=
ts. There are still a few Canadian Tiger Swallowtails and some of the silver=
y Blues are getting quite worn. I also was able to photograph Northern Cresc=
ent, and a few shots of the six Northern Cloudywing. This is a species that h=
as a more northern distribution  in NS as shown in the atlas map http://www.=
ontarioinsects.org/maritimesbutterflyatlas/draw_map_MBA.html?spIndex=3D3&dis=
play=3Dsquares&view=3Ddefault

The distribution is odd in that there is a gap between sightings in NB and N=
S of several hundred kilometres with no reports from eastern NB and Cumberla=
nd Co. it was only recorded in about a dozen NS squares. Most of the sightin=
gs are from the north eastern mainland but I seem to remember that I saw one=
 in a Cape Breton gravel pit which is the only one from CBI.=20

Other butterflies seen but not documented were Hobomok's Skipper and Common R=
inglet. Yesterday I also photographed a Harris's Checkerspot in Egerton also=
 in Pictou co. =20
