New Sighting
The day was sunny with a slight breeze (<5 mph) and 75° F. I was checking out the bog area along the RR tracks for the first time and looking to see what was there. I ended up getting lost and going in a big circle back to where I started when I spotted a large, yellow butterfly I had never seen before. I discussed it with Jim Springer, sending one poor-quality photo and we determined it was a Cloudless Sulfur. This was my first sighting of this species.
