In late April/early May, Spring Azures are the only blues on the 
wing. Later they are still the more common blues. Silvery Blues are 
almost as widespread, begin flying by early June and are, well, 
silvery. Northern Blues fly a bit later and are highly habitat 
specific (pretty much only found where there is Crowberry, their 
larval host).
