Yesterday in Mt Uniacke area I encountered several Spring Azures and many
fresh Brown Elfins.  The April 24 th date for Brown Elfin is 2 weeks earlier
than my earliest date ever for encountering  this species which was 

May 7 2004. 

 

I found 2 other April  27 th records from the  late 1960's for this species
.

 

 It appears M.Kings sightings from I recollect  Spectacle Lake Halifax Co.
Thurs April 22 (?)  posted earlier this week  may be one the earliest on
record for Brown Elfin  in NS . Good job !

 

I would suspect the scarcer Henrys Elfin will probably be around too- the
earliest  I have seen this critter is May 12 th.
