North Cape May ~ my yard NABA #1151 & Monarch Waystation #8318
Cape May County, NJ

Great sunny weather temp’s mid 70’s with winds 5-7 MPH. Many skippers have returned from wherever they were hiding. Excited to find a Long-tailed Skipper in the backyard after an absence of 16 days. Many Ocola’s in the yard. Monarch number’s down but still high. FOY Eastern Comma’s for me also. Digital images of all.
