Thanks for sharing Ken.
Around Kentville yesterday (June 22), the following species were observed:
1 Viceroy (FOY)
1 White Admiral (FOY)
1 Monarch (FOY - this was at Miner's marsh, and I did manage a rather poor =
photo that should suffice for ID purposes)
1 Long-dash Skipper (FOY)
Also on the wing were the usuals: Tiger Swallowtail, Northern Cresent, Peck=
's Skipper, European Skipper, Cabbage White, and Common Ringlet.
I had two others where I wasn't close enough or the butterfly didn't land t=
o get a firm ID: one was either a Painted or American Lady, the other was e=
ither a Silvery Blue or a Spring Azure.

Subject: [NatureNS] Northern Cloudywing
Hi all
After doing a bird survey this morning in McLellans Brook , I noticed it wa=
s warm enough for butterflies to be about and grabbed my camera for a few s=
hots. There are still a few Canadian Tiger Swallowtails and some of the sil=
very Blues are getting quite worn. I also was able to photograph Northern C=
rescent, and a few shots of the six Northern Cloudywing. This is a species =
that has a more northern distribution in NS as shown in the atlas map http=
://www.ontarioinsects.org/maritimesbutterflyatlas/draw_map_MBA.html?spIndex=
=3D3&display=3Dsquares&view=3Ddefault
The distribution is odd in that there is a gap between sightings in NB and =
NS of several hundred kilometres with no reports from eastern NB and Cumber=
land Co. it was only recorded in about a dozen NS squares. Most of the sigh=
tings 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.
Other butterflies seen but not documented were Hobomok's Skipper and Common=
Ringlet. Yesterday I also photographed a Harris's Checkerspot in Egerton a=
lso in Pictou co.
Cheers
