--=====================_150764062==.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Hi All; It pays to keep a camera handy. I was out with some visiting birders last Friday (May 14), and in the early afternoon we hiked into the Pockwock Watershed along the road leading off Exit #3 on Hwy 101. About 500 metres along the road we encountered a small elfin butterfly which I managed to photograph, and I sent the photos to both Derek Bridgehouse and Jim Edsall, who both ID'd the bug for me -- it was a Bog Elfin, perhaps just the fourth locality record for Nova Scotia. A photo of the butterfly is here: http://tinyurl.com/36fqr9z It was fortunate that the butterfly was along the edge of the gravel road rather than in the surrounding treed bog. Perhaps it was because the forest is rather dry right now. We also discovered a dragonfly just recently emerged, and Derek ID'd it as an American Emerald from my photos, which are here: http://tinyurl.com/34ofjy6 Love the sun, love the leps, love the odes. And keep your camera handy.
