We took a quick walk down at the Great Neck Audubon in Wareham today. There wasn’t a lot flying, but I was there to find the early grass skippers and not much else. I was a little surprised to find a Peck’s Skipper right away, even though it is certainly possible for them to be out already.
After a bit more walking around, we found a couple Little Wood Satyrs that are quite common in this location at this time of year.
On the way back, we found a few Zabulon Skippers. These will become quite common in the next couple weeks, but it is always fun to find the first of the year. The females are the best looking, but only the males are out so far it seems.
We also found the tiniest Eastern tailed-blue I have probably ever seen, it made the flower of a plantain look big! Photo above.
A very successful trip all things considered!
