We saw so many Silvery Blues yesterday I wanted to take another look today.

I was there from 09:30 to noon, the conditions were fine: sunny, low-70s,
and calm. I saw:

20+ Silvery Blue
20+ Sulphur
3 Common Ringlet
6 Pearl Crescent
1 Gray Hairstreak
1 Black Swallowtail (flyby--possibly a Spicebush Swallowtail)
3 Common Wood Nymph

I got to Horn Pond Mountain at 01:00, and conditions were also fine: low-
to mid-70s, sunny and mostly calm with intermittent breezes. I saw:

5 Cabbage White
2 American Copper
15 Duskywing (both Juvenal's and Wild Indigo)
1 Tiger Swallowtail (sp., another flyby)
1 Eastern Tailed-blue

I did not see any Juniper's Hairstreaks, and one of the duskywings had a
very different look; posting to iNat
<https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/362935681>. The Wild Indigo
<https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/362937150>was tiny; it was
interacting with an Eastern Tailed-blue, and they were almost the same size.
