Howdy leppers, Not having made it to Montague or Ashburnham this year, I hadn=E2=80=99t se= en any elfins yet, until today. I was walking our dog near Amethyst Brook, = along the edge of the adjacent farm field, when I spotted a little brown jo= b fluttering overhead. It landed too high up in a tree for photos, but with= binoculars it was recognizable as a Pine Elfin, my FOY. Looked a bit tatte= red. A minute later, I saw a Red-Spotted Purple (Admiral) which landed for = a split-second in the same tree before flying off. Cheers, Josh Joshua S.
