Hi Dave/Jane=0A=
Right after I sent my message=2C I looked up bluets in a different guide (I=
 =0A=
had checked Newcombs first where the photo shows blue- should have looked a=
t the =0A=
text where it states it can be blue or white)-  it was listed in =0A=
Petersons in the white flower section.   I don't think I =0A=
remember seeing a full big patch with white flowers only=2C or if I have I =
don't =0A=
remember. There was not a bluish flower in sight at all. =0A=
I have not seen it all that often in the NE mainland. Checking the =0A=
range map in the old Flora of Nova Scotia it is not listed from this part =
=0A=
of the province. I have seen it in Trafalgar and now in Upper Kemptown =0A=
near the county borders. =0A=
Interesting Bluet is not in the index in my old Flora of NS: I found it =0A=
under Houstonia. It now has a different genus in the newer Flora of NS- Hed=
yotis =0A=
meaning sweet ear. =0A=
It is listed as Bluet in the index of the newer Flora (revised by =0A=
Zinck).=0A=
Anyway the Brown Elfin seemed attracted to the patch of white Bluets. =0A=

  Hi Angus=2C Judy and all=0A=
   =0A=
  It is a bit of a tough year finding butterflies =0A=
  in the Pictou-Colchester counties I have been in. I have documented 5 =0A=
  species.  Earlier in late April and early May I had a couple =0A=
  Mourning Cloaks both new records for the squares I saw them =0A=
  in. About 10 days ago I had a Gray Common on Big I.=2C I think =0A=
  my first for Pictou Co.=0A=
   =0A=
  Since May 20=2C I have seen Brown =0A=
  Elfins in 4 squares=2C 3 of which were new atlas records for the =0A=
  square. I am finding most but not all  in spruce bogs but not in big =0A=
  numbers. I searched a bog between Tony River and Poplar Hill yesterday wi=
th no =0A=
  luck for my efforts. I have a photo of one not on a bog but there was a w=
et =0A=
  area nearby ( where I had seen Rusty Blackbird earlier in the =0A=
  month). The Brown Elfin is on a plant that I am having trouble identifyin=
g. It =0A=
  somewhat resembles a bluet=2C but it is white- has the four petals with y=
ellow =0A=
  centres=2C maybe 8-10 cm tall=2C with small opposite and I think entire l=
eaves. I =0A=
  have a photo- if someone is up for the challenge to ID=2C I could send it=
 to =0A=
  them. =0A=
  The bogs are chock-full now with =0A=
  Leatherleaf blooms and many bees are going to these flowers. =0A=
  A Gray Jay was working this bog- maybe it was eating all the =0A=
  elfins!  In fact I had a bonus day for Gray Jays yesterday=2C seeing 8 =
=0A=
  between Kemptown and Tony River. =0A=
   =0A=
  I have recorded both single records of =0A=
  Cabbage and Mustard Whites- the former in "downtown" =0A=
  Scotsburn on dandelion and the latter at the entrance to the Meadowville =
=0A=
  Station section of the rails -trails and on wild strawberry. . =0A=
   =0A=
  A few ( ~5) Spring Azures have =0A=
  been seen but not perched and moving too fast to catch. We need some warm=
