Sounds fine to me for Appy Azure timing, locale, and habitat. And size. On= e edit =E2=80=94 it is the second brood of Summer Azure that might just be s= tarting. They have a first brood often in March to early or mid-April. That= first one might be in few numbers in Watauga. But judging from spring sea= son photos on iNsturalist, the only brood of Spring Azure seems essentially o= ver up there.=20 Harry LeGrand=20 Raleigh=20 Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 29, 2025, at 6:21 PM, <badgerboy...> wrote: >=20 > =EF=BB=BFDuring a HCAS bird walk this morning, on the MST in Deep Gap just= above the parkway, in an area with large amounts of Black Cohosh, there was= a good sized Azure which might possibly have been an Appalachian Azure.
